Radio Removal

Jan 18, 2004 6 Replies

BlankI've got a 2001 Silverado 2500HD and I bought a 10 disk CD changer that is supposed to connect right up to it. My problem is I can't determine how to remove the radio/CD player. Is there a special tool needed for this removal? Also it has anti theft stuff on it. If I disconnect it will it work when I reconnect it?

Put the steering wheel down too. Teftlock is a joke, this is a 30 second snatch & grab job, 20 if your good...

I received the CD changer today. The trim popped right off as stated. I see the radio locking devices on each side but am reluctant to remove it. I bought the truck used and don't know the anti-theft lock code. I have the owners/users manuals but don't see the code noted anywhere. How do I read/retrieve the code before I remove the radio?

I pressed the 1&4 keys and got three dashes. If I read you right that means no code has been entered. I assume it is safe to remove and replace the power connection and the radio will still work. The CD Changer requires the power plug to be removed.
