ok..so i redid the trim inside my 06 ss/sc ... in the process i swapped my silver stock head unit for a black head unit from an 05 ss.. now it is locked and the dealer wants 88 ****** dollars to simply unlock it.. is there a way that i can unlock it myself? or if someone local can help me im willing to drive a little to solve the problem...also.. the guy said he wasnt sure if it would even work since its an 05 going into an 06 car..will it work for sure? thanx

 

sometimes the code is inside the manual or inside the glove box. on a white sticker

 

its programed with the vin of the original car. you have to take it to te dealer for reprograming.

 

will it work for sure though...bc i dont wanna spend 88 dollars and then have it still not work..this guy was seriously a retarded pain in the ass...but him saying it still may not work makes me nervous..

 

yes it will work but if you have both radios you can just swap the "face" and keep the color you want

 

i will be doing that tomorrow it looks like.. i never really gave it a great look until today and noticed that u can take the face off

 

hahaha epic $88 save

 

lol ya pretty crazy but its just those 4 screws and the clips. just be careful and ur fine.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I feel like a RETARD! ha I almost got suckered into paying 45 dollars from my dealer to get my radio unlocked! Thanks EmperorJJ1 I will be swapping faces on mine tomorrow as well!!!

 

This is kinda like what I did. I have the base LS and bought the upgraded stereo, had it reprogrammed by the dealer, then swapped the face back to the black for a finished look. It's the upgraded stereo, just looks bone stock!
