I need some help here guys and gals..



I do of course mean my radio code.. it is locked because I took out my battery... SO PLEASE HELP ME.

Turn on your ignition, press #2 and #3 buttons on the radio, record the number on the display.

Then press the AM/FM buttons, record those numbers that are now on the display.

Post back with the numbers.

Ian,

I was just about to post this question because the exact same thing happened to me when getting my 99 Grand Prix repaired. I followed the instructions and the numbers I got were 232 and 237. But neither worked when I tried to enter the them as a code. Is there a next step?

Yes...your unlock code is 1210. You need to press the hour button and enter the first two numbers. Then press the minute button and enter the last two numbers, then press the am/fm button and radio should display "SEC"....should then be unlocked. Hope this works for you.

How did you figure out the code, 1210, from the 3 digit numbers you were given? If I were to post the two 3-digit codes could you figure mine out also?

I work at a GM dealership. We are given a toll free number that we can call and enter the 3 digit codes in. Then they simply give us the unlock code. It's all automated, so you aren't dealing with any humans (often a blessing).

Post your codes.
