This is how unlock and delete the gm chevy gmc eeprom on a locked radio without the code
.
Gm endoded or programmed each radio specific to the vin of the vehicle it was going in. The dealer charges $150 to get the code and re-program a radio to a new vehicle. I also looked up several ways like pushing buttons 1 and 4 or 2 and 3 and called the 1-800-537-5140 number given to me and none of this worked my way should work on most gm GMC chevy saturn buick and pontiac radios with or without cassette from 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2001 2003 2004 2004 2006

Will this work on the navigation versions of these GM radios too?? (Like escalade?)
Craig my tape player broke I use it for my phone the bluetooth cassette got stuck. Is it hard to replace the cassette part of the radio? You make it look easy to take out. How many screws and wires? I have another radio already that doeant power up anymore. I just want to use the cassette mechanism…do you you think this could work?
See that! I just posted a comment in your video before this one thanking you for the many tricks you show us that we can actually use and SAVE money with. And THIS was another one. Thank you and a very Happy New Year & Safe one for you and you entire family (at home the car lot)! Sonny (CT)
When it comes to a radio and GPS I have found that my iPhone 8 Plus actually does it all. It’s amazing how things have changed. Audible and Waze apps makes traveling easy.
Thanks Craig! Nice mod or "hack". Love it when people figure out how to get around things on the cheap or free. Love your channel!!!
Great tip! Nice. Dunno why GM wasted their time even back in the day on locking the radios to the vin. I believe you can buy replacement knobs and buttons from Dorman for these radios…
Love your videos Craig. How did you figure out (or know) how to get this radio unlocked?
I used to refurb these radios. Buy a new GM most likely a refurb radio without you knowing.
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.
If you had the original radio could you swap that piece from old to new and it work like it should
Do you think you could have bought a nicer used radio? Dont be a cheap used car salesman
OOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRR go to Walmart buy that $50 radio with bluetooth and call it a day
How did you discover that?
