I got a parts car and i wanted to put the other radio in it but it says its locked how do you unlock them?

Must be programmed by the dealer with the Tech2

Your kidding. So what is you get another factory radio for a JY. Would you still have to get the code from the dealer? It seems there shoudl be a fix for turning the code off.

This only applies to 00+.

99 and older are self-programmable.

When you repair the lights on the radio in the 2000+, does the radio lock when you put it back in?

If the radio is coming out of and going back in to the same car in 00+ it is programmed and knows that it is in the correct, or same, car. If you change from one car to another it will realize it is in a different car and lock itself until unlocked and re-programmed by the dealership scanner. It's a theft-deterrent feature. Call around several dealers because they all charge different amounts to unlock and reprogram, anywhere from $40 up to $99, and be ready to prove it is your radio and not stolen.

thats ok i dont need it anymore i jsut switched out the face plates and replaced the bulbs that werent working it felt like that was a hell of alot easier

search google for unlock "delco theftlock radio". plenty of help to be found on this. actually i just did this this past weekend after i picked up another jy cd radio. the gist is, with the radio off your press 2 and 3 until 3 numbers appear. then you press am/fm to get another set of 3 numbers. then theres a number you call and you follow the prompts and enter the 6 numbers you got from the radio. i dont have the exact number to call right now but like i said, if you google it, the help is readily available. takes about 10 mins and no need to pay the dealer.

figured id just go find it:
