Default oem head unit locked

finished the swap upgrade to factory Nav on my 07 C6. right before I put it to bed for the winter. Never had it unlocked yet

2 questions:

1. Does anyone figured out a way to unlock them saving a trip to the dealer?

2. Is there anyone who has access to a tech tool so I don't have to go thru the pain and expense of the dealer to perform the task?

I am in the orland park, IL area.

60448.

Thanks in Advance.

Usually a good dealer (I do mean a GOOD dealer) will do this for free. Best of luck.

I called the service dept at my closest chevy dealer and the overly cocky service advisor acted as if i was asking him to come over to my house and wash my kitchen floor.

He demanded $140.00 to unlock the radio.

Needless to say I am still in need of the service.
