Confirmed still works June 2024! I’ve used this multiple times. When you enter the 6 digit PIN on the phone make sure to wait a few seconds after you enter the first 3 digits (if you enter it all as one straight 6 digit number the system won’t recognize it)
I'm planning on buying a Buick Lacrosse 2014 off a garage and the radio says Theft locked. Will it work now? Vauythe garage is not going to fix it. But I like the rest of the car. Could you help me find the solution to my issue?
Thank you , got my neighbors 2002 radio going today , it locked him out after a battery change . Took 3 x calling the number , I got thru , typed in my 6 digit retrieval code , gave my my 4 digit code , worked like a champ . Today is 5/9/2022 , thank you .
How did you enter the 4 digit code in a 000 000 format??
Mine is 1079 should I try 001079??
@@jamiepetrakovitz4238 not sure on that , only had a 4 digit slot . So I entered it , and radio unlocked .
This worked 100%. The phone number still works you just may need to call it a few times before it picks up. My code started with a 0 so I just used the last three. The timing of pushing 2 and 3 has to be right on, may take several attempts. Thank you for the info.
Thank you Corey !! It worked no problem !!!! and the only tool required was a telephone !!!! Some other solutions here on YT require removal of the deck !!!!! NO WAY !!!! Cheers (16 may 2021)
Awesome!! Thanks man. Changed my battery today and was like wtf is going on. Worked on 6-28-23
Ignore comments about phone number not working! I had to try a few times and then it picks up. Worked in my 96 Chevy Lumina!! So happy to have found this video, you are a life saver!!
July 14th, 2022 ☺️
HEY BRO A MILLION THANKS YOU MADE THE PROCESS EASY PEASY AND NOW I CAN DRIVE AND LISTEN TO ALL MY FAVORITE JAMS!!!!!
Thank you so much for posting this! I have been locked out of and without a radio in my car (2000 Chevy Malibu) for over a year and now I am so happy to have a radio again!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
You don’t have to enter in the number of car type just wait for it to end. Enter 106010. My car needed 4 digits not three like the video suggested. Worked for me 10/21.
Thanks so much man! It worked exactly how you explained it! I just got a new motor installed in my 2000 Chevy silverado and for some odd reason my radio was locked but thanks to you that isn’t a problem anymore! I suggest everyone try this exactly as he explained! And keep a pen and paper in hand lol
Great information bro , I was with out a radio for 18 months because of this . I followed instructions and I’m jamming now 🤘🏽
Damn, 18 months
Awesome! Been looking for unlock videos for a while and nobody's was working for me. This one worked exactly! Well except a little FYI for those whose numbers begins with a 0 (zero) you'll use the last 3 numbers instead of the first 3. Thanks again!
didn'
t work for me
they don't answer the phoneeeee
@@ziefty yea they don’t I’m trying jt rn
@@myssty-_-62 bruh the jig is up 😭 guess gotta go in to the dealer
@@ziefty it worked for me the very first number I used.
Worked for me 6-11-2021. Thank you!
So glad I ran into this video. Been without a radio for approx one year and even dealership said they could not unlock going by the manual that came with vehicle. This video has different instructions and is so simple. Thanks.
07/08/2024 I just did this on my 98 Z28 with a used Monsoon radio I got off eBay. I followed the steps. It took 2 calls to the phone number and I was able to unlock the radio. So this does still work!
Works just fine! I did it today June 10, 2021.
Than you sir - worked just fine and saved me from putting money into a GM dealers pocket!
This worked for me July 6 2019 have a 2002 gmc yukon just a note though remember to hold down 2 and 3 for a long time until the number comes up. Then when you call the number let it play all the way through and just enter one of the numbers it has in video with astrick after I used the first one that starts with a 6. Don't push any of the numbers it mentions in call.
Hello I’m stuck in the same situation as everyone else 2002 denali suv GMC battery went dead so replaced it radio won’t ply out turns on but won’t display loc ?! What else could it be or am I doing something wrong I know this is a couple years old but please please anyone lmk I’m so upset I wanna jam out again 😥 just happened today
Thank you very much
I followed your instructions.
I now have sound.
Traffic reports very important for my job.
Gracias!!!
Thank you so much for this video. Most helpful. We used your instructions to unlock our 2001 Chevy Silverado. We were quoted $850 by a local Chevrolet dealer to replace the radio rather than unlock it.
Awesome video, very detailed. Saved me a new radio purchase
It worked!!! I hate to leave the first zero off for mines to work! Thank you!!
Works for my grandmas 97 park avenue thank you so much! 7/20/24!
It still works, called in today 5/13/2022. Listen right through to the end of the prompts, ignore the model names, go right to the end of the recording, enter in your radio code and hit the star sign on the phone. I used dealer code 106010, that one worked on the first shot. If your unlock code is four numbers and happens to start with a "0", simply enter the following three numbers into your radio. Easy peasy!
I hot a code of 1399 i put it in woth the hours & mins how do I confirm its correct? His instructions don't tell how to do that....
@@gino2033 It is in the video, punch in the code with the hrs and min buttons and than press the AM/FM button, that is it. I just had to do mine agin, had to come back for a refresher course.
This was soo helpful! Thank you so much for this information
Ty. This worked perfectly in May 2019.
JerradRay What phone number did you use it seems like they changed the 1-800-537-5140 number
@@jessicavelez6448 fr tho
Just tried this and it worked. When you call the number listed make sure to listen for the whole message before entering in the dealer code.
Oct. 2022 ths first dealer number works. Thank you so much. 2001 GMC Sonoma
Thanks this has helped me... I did have one problem but soon figured out the two 3-digits code were the same number. It’s was 042-042 .... called the phone number and got the correct code which is 0203 and entered the last 3 numbers 203
I had a 1999 Chevy Z71 truck
It’s only requesting a 3 digit code when I call number they give me a four digit code radio not saying loc hits displaying time
just did it on a pontiac worked great
Chevy Tahoe 2002, was successful, thanks for your help
Worked on my 1999 cavalier, but I did need to set all four digits. My code was 1040 so I set the "clock" to 1040`.
Thank you for the free solution!!!
Still works August 20 2024
Thanks you!!!
Awesome video! Very well done with great and hard to find information. Thanks!
Thank you! I swapped my fuses out an it locked up 😂
wao thank you very much the first one was possible thanks for the explanation and for all the support with these videos greetings
Thank you much respect , bailed me out of customers radio unlock issue .
Thank you! Got my husband's truck radio working again!
That is all well and good for the head units that have buttons. My Delphi unit from the 2013 Acadia has tactile areas around the edge of the display and just two buttons, On/Off and Tune/Select. The screen says "LOCKED" and it appears there may be a sequence of touching the tactiles or the buttons or both but I haven't found out the combination. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

work find and i save 50$ it was the charge of the dealer, Thank you!
Damnnn unbeleivable I have tried years to unlock my radio. Tried one way and another . This really works.
Heck yeahhh !! This method still works 4-13-2022
I need help with my gmc 2002. I got my code 1955 unclear to how to enter this if he is entering a 3 digit code. Do I enter Hr 19 then MN 55 ?? It loc s me out every time. Or do I enter 19 hr the 95 or 5 MN? Do u think you can help me?
Worked great for me on June 12, 2019. The video gives correct directions. I think it's the recording that causes confusion. When you call the recording, ignore when the recording says " 1 for Chevy, 2 for Caddy, 3 for Pontiac, 4 for Buick, 5 for GMC." Just input one of the six digit dealer codes displayed in the video, followed by the asterisk key. I have a GMC and tried to put 5+one of the dealer codes and it was invalid. I tried again and just put the dealer code of 620526, and it gave me my unlock code. Wish you all the best.
Tried this on two different gm radios , no code displays after pressing pre set buttons
@@JoeAIdar make sure the key is on and you can see LOC on the radio display. Press and hold preset 2 and 3 buttons at the same time and hold until the code appears
Thank you! Very helpful and brief video. Also that phone number still works for me
Did all of it work for you ? I got a new grand am monsoon n it's locked
no workyyyyyyy
You are the man Corey, much appreciated.👍🏿
Took 3min and worked perfectly, thanks!
Phone number does not work!
Raymond Emerson same
800 Number is not in service
You might have to call it several times but it does work
It used to work 😢
Nope I can't get it to work either. Anyone w a working phone number would be great.
Thanks man I feel like myself again. Thanks again
This one makes more since than all the others I've seen ! Thank you !
Thank you for making it so quick and easy!
When he says "continuous press" does he mean press and hold or press over and over and over quickly?
had to go through twice, us old guys are not as quick thinking as you are Corey F.thanks will try tomorrow am,battery had to be recharged?
Thanks!! Worked perfectly
Thanks a lot. Worked out with no issues
Hi, This didn't work for me. Also, my stereo does not have a AM/FM button or HR and MN buttons. Do you have any suggestions for this?
I've tried this process multiple time and I cannot seem to get the codes at all. I have 2002 Chevy Venture warner bros edition. Any other tips or advice to help out, Please.
I have an 02 GM. And this didn't work or bring anything up on the radio
Same 😳
Worked perfectly thank you so much! 2/11/23
the number doesn't work when i call
Help! That number is just always busy? Is there a different number!?? Please help, thank you!
Work fantastic on my 98 Cavalier
Woody, Nov5/22
Worked out great, on my sons, 2006 Chev Avalanche, Thanks
they don't anser the phone brooooooooooooo
Worked like a champ! Thanks so much!
Súper work great with my 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 thank you
I used this procedure in years past and it always worked. A friend at a GM dealer gave me the same info years ago. I lost the phone# over the years., thanks for the phone number
Mine only says 1.00 and that’s it it won’t do anything else ? Any suggestions ??
what a dumb thing to put in a car's stereo .... The battery in my 99 Buick died and never knew about this security thing until I got the new battery in .... First thing I'm checking in the glove box to see if someone wrote the code down somewhere .... You would think there would be instructions on that when it was new ?? If I need this solution , i will cross my fingers and try it tomorrow !!!!! TinA !
I just called the number [don't bother with the 1-8* for Chev etc .... ] first dealer code worked !
I have my 4 digit code ... GOING out to try it , FC !!
What's the purpose of getting the radio's serial number?
Not really the serial number but whatever numbers come up when you hold preset 2 and 3 down. It's so GM can look up the unlock code of that specific radio.
It worked ! . None of the codes worked in the video so i used 106100 on a wim and it worked . Wohoo everything els in the video is corect . 07/25/23
Holding 2 3 Didn't work for me.
Same thing for me the only thing that comes on is the hours
Did either of you figure it out ? Ain't working for me either
Me either ugh 😫 no music in my Pontiac
@@dawnluvsaj8638 frfr 😭😭😭
Just to mention I had to use the last three numbers not the first three by thank you
Worked perfectly. Thank you!
THANK YOU !!! I have a 1997 Geo Prizm Lsi 1.8L manual with a Cassette Radio, and your instructions Worked !!! Bringing 1997 back !
Thanks so much very informative and easy to follow instructions
Awesome worked great. Thanks
Hey I wanna thank you .. I really did not knew how to fix this shi* but thanks to your detailed explanation I was able to get it to work . so thnsks bro I love ya I owe ya
Thanks bro worked for me
Awesome 👍
Worked Perfectly!
Thanks 4 the video. I'll add a more detailed response shortly
Waiting
Thanks! It worked great!
What if I only have am/for radio? Whats the process for that? Holding down 2 and 3 did nothing.
Holding down 2 & 3 is doing nothing me also !! 😤
Phone number does not work, Have they changed 1-800 number?
The only catch I saw was that you can't tell if the radio is on, or off. If you can't get it to display digits by using the 3+4 buttons, turn the power the other way and try again. Other than than, worked just fine. 2000 Sonoma pickup with a very dead battery
I have a 2000 Cavalier CD Radio and this does not work. Nothing happens after pressing down 2 and 3 at the same time. Tried 8/10 seconds. I am in Canada and my radio number buttons are all horizontal, not stacked as shown.
Could I have engaged the vehicles immobilizer when changing a Chevy cobalt 2007 stock stereo? I upgraded the stereo and it locked the entire car out
holding 2 and 3 like you said or 1 and 4 like some others say didn't do anything..
stopped my attempt short
Works great! Thanks
Excelente esplicación , funciona a la perfección y es muy rapido la respuesta
Well my Cadillac 2006 sts had a bad radio changed it out ...says theft lock on the nav type yq4 opt ever have to deal with that radio to unlock or dealership only fix?
Thanks. Worked in my 2000 s10 1-22-2022
What's the number to call
@@mikewindham8518 it’s in the video. Have paper and pen ready
I have a 2007 Buick lacrosse and the hour and minute part don’t work for me
Hello do you have a video for a 2011 Chevy cruze?
Worked 1/22/22 except didnt need the serial number and the radio code was the same 3 digits. Thanks
Worked for me. Thank you
Amazing!! Thankyou so much!!! It worked!!
Hello, thank you for the explanation. I have the same device, but it all works, and the radio works, but there is no sound output. Please, AC, the sound number, and I can buy it from where
Sorry for the mistakes, I am Egyptian and the language is Arabic
Any use this with a touch screen, no number buttons to physically push like others have mentioned.
What is it doesn't say loc just displays the time?
does the radio need to be locked in order to retrieve the code by holding 2 and 3 down? i just want to have the code in case i need it
Worked today 2/7/2024
Didn’t work for my Buick Park Avenue although another UA-cam video showing the paper clip trick jumping the relay worked perfectly. LOL
Worked great. Thank you.

I assume this technique will not work when replacing an oem factory malfunctioning head unit with a used oem factory head unit of the same type from a different vehicle? Everything I see indicates that you have to go to the dealer for programming, as it is matched to the VIN of the car it originally came from. Any thoughts? My problem with my current radio is I have volume on AM band, but I have only very low volume on FM band, so there's another question....
It should not matter what car the radio is from as GM is using the ID code from the specific radio you are calling them about to get the code. Some radios are "fingerprinted" to the vehicle but all that means is as long as it is in the vehicle it came with you will never need a code as it won't ever lock out unless you install it in another vehicle. On these old GM's it will lock out anytime power is killed like from a dead battery or blown fuse, or if you unplugged the radio for some reason.
As far as the other issue if the stations are coming in that means the antenna is good so if you have a problem on FM but not AM that would point to a defective FM section in your tuner. Time for a new deck or repair.
