    If you know someone with a decent bi directional scanner, they can do the vin relearn for the radio. the only thing, when I used my snap-on scanner, I had to built a 2006 avalanche with the navigation radio for the radio option to come up. It still worked and that was done on a 2002 chevy s10.

    Thanks! I can confirm that this works with the 2006 model without the tape deck for sure. The part is on a different part of the board. Bottom corner instead of the middle. But the part number was the same, except the first digit which was a 3 not and s. The eprom and neighboring components were identical. Thanks again!

    Amazing. This was the only thing that worked for me in my Chevy Sonic 2013. The chip was hard to find but I figured it out. 8 pin chip labeled EEPROM (next to the chip, not on it) The chip was in the same area as in the video but the board is layed out differently.
    You saved me $150 on top of what the scrap yard charged me. Made my day. Cheers!

    Question: If the eeprom chip in the old radio is the same as the new radio why can't you just remove the chip from the old original radio and use it to replace
    the chip in the new radio? Old chip has the VIN number of the vehicle. Unless the socket for the chip in the new radio is different then it should work

      @@reedharrell5279 I'm not 100% sure but I would think it would. If you know/think about the BIOS Battery in a computer this EPROM is similar. The BIOS Battery maintains the date, time, chipset, fan speeds, and others. The EPROM is maintaining similar information. So if there is not constant 12V to the radio the entire time then you will even loose your clock. Again I'm not 100% positive on this.

    WARNING - What he has done is to rip out the EEPROM (flash memory) that stores the radio security code AND the preset stations. This chip predates USB flash drives, storing only a few thousand bytes of data. He risks serious damage - these chips are SOLDERED to the board. Ripping it out with pliers can lift off/break copper traces on the board, killing the radio.

      @tsquisch 3 місяці тому +4

      Late to the party, but in case someone else come across this later - the fix to that is just to remove pin 8 from the chip. For those that don't work with electronics to know, pin 8 on a 9355093, is the top left corner pin that's over the first 9 in the number. That removes the power source to the chip, without potentially damaging more of the board.

      @@ZDMBeats mine was because I have a bose setup and non bose radio. I bypassed the amp by plugging the radio directly into the same size port to the right. Works good now just a few random issues like the rear audio works as it's own channel and no presets.

    I've replaced a few GM radios, my scan tool can unlock them no problem. I've never heard or seen this exploit before. Makes me wonder if the radio would be able to program a key fob. For GM cars that have key fobs, it can be programmed without a scan tool by using the DISP on the factory radio. I wonder if removing the EPROM (or is it EEPROM?) would interfere with that.

      What scan tool are you referring to in this case? Hopefully one that isnt 10,000

    • @vivillager

      @@FredFlintstone21, I have a Launch X431 Torque, costed me about $2,300. HarborFreight sells one called a ZR Pro I think, sometimes it's on sale for $999. I believe that it's the same scan tool rebadged because the interface is exactly the same, and the input for the subscription key is also the same. If I had to do it all over again, I'd buy a Autel Maxisys, which I probably will eventually. The X431 that I have is good usually, but sometimes it's a little buggy. I was able to program key fobs into a 2002 Impala, but not into a 2003 Impala. It was the scan tool's fault because I was able to program the fobs using the factory radio.

      Does sound come out with the Cal Err code? I heard it takes a few weeks to learn the new vin. Did the Cal Err code ever go away?
