Default Clear the lock

I have an ‘05 with the multi disc radio but it doesn’t light up at night and I’m going to swap it over to one that does, I know it’ll be locked out per anti theft stuff but would a cheap scanner like this one be able to clear the lock?

Personally I'd suggest you get rid of it and buy a good aftermarket system, not only are they so much more up to date functionality wise, but they also sound much better.

I realize that but, I’m not in my 20’s anymore and don’t care how loud or how good it sounds anymore.

Fair enough, as long as you're happy with what you have.

Well anyway, I don't believe the scanner you''re looking at will do what you want, I think you need a Tech 2 to do what you want or you can go to the dealer and they can do it for you for a fee.

I’ll get around to it, I like hearing the Corsa exhaust anyway.
