I had to put in a new battery this week and didn't realize the previous owner had activated the theftlock feature on the radio.

My radio is locked, I don't know the pass code and it won't let me enter a new one.

Any ideas?

never mind... just found my answer in an earlier post

Were you able to remove the "LOC" on the radio?

yes. after some dogpile searches (and finding out it could be upwards of $100 if a dealer unlocked it), i found the answer. it only took about 10 minutes! i'd take $100 to do that for someone else! what a rip...

i laught at all you with theft lock!
Whats the honest point of it? Who is gunna waste time and risk getting caught to steal a Pontiac Factory stereo!? lol
just my .03 cents!

LOL good point. Mine refuses to play CD'* sometimes.

Well back when these radios were new maybe some would steal it....

Maybe not

Regardless how did you unlock it? Use the guy on EBay?

No. I found a site that gave instructions to get a display code; called an 800 #; entered the display code #'*, and the computer gave me the unlock code. Might be a temporary fix as I haven't tried to re-activate the system, but everything (including the clock) seems to work.

That'* a good deal. The dealerships charge like $35.00 to remove the "LOC".

does it refuse to take you're cds? mine does that from time to time.
