You definately have a problem. In order to unlock the radio you will need the VIN of the vehicle that you got it from. You will also need proof of where you purchaced it from. Take all this information to a GM dealer and they should be able to unlock the radio by entering an "Override" code to unlock the radio. Then they will have to program your Engine Control Module to accept the "Brodcast ID" of the replacement radio. This is all part of the antitheft system designed to keep someone from stealing your radio and using it in another car. If you can't get the VIN of the vehicle that it came out of, the dealer will not be able to help you because there are many different override codes and they will not know which one to use without the original VIN.
only the Buick dealership can fix this. they have to pull out a 6 digit code from the radio & then call Buick factory to convert this 6 digit code into a 4 digit code in order to unlock the radio.
sorry, you cant do it by yourself.
if its for radio sometimes dealer will ask for some model no# on your radio and he can give you code to unlock it..sometimes they charge either sometimes you cant win
look on the side of your glove box on the casing of the glove box compartment and if there is a sticker with i think it is a 4 or 5 digit code press that code in. and it should unlock. if not you can always pull the stereo out and get have the dealership look it up and give you the code. if you have the owners manual they normally put the code in the back pages of the owners manual as well. if you cant find it post another problem i will try to help
the dealer is fulla **** sorry ,the radio is locked but not tied with the vin
and if u take your battery lead off then put back on it will ask you for the code and same if u take it out
the way to get the code is in your manual for the car
or ring the company who made the radio
so what the dealer is saying if it cant be unlocked when u replace the battery it will need a code what do u do ? of course u can unlock it
just do what i said above and u will have your code usaually 4 or 5 digits
