Default Omg! Radio Help!! Stat!

OK, here is the story.... My pride and joy has been sitting all winter in the garage and you guessed it, the 1998 OEM Delco battery finally gave it up. (It had a good long life!) Sooooooo... I decided to purchase a new battery and install it today. (Just to let you know I bought my car from a gentleman here local to Omaha who really took care of it)

Anyway, I get the new battery installed and crank the Black Bandit up and guess what I see on the radio????? LOC
Well now I think....This is no sweat, call the previous owner and get the code and we are good to go! Right? Wrong!!!

Does anyone know the secret of the GM Theftloc radio? I really wanted to drive it (with tunes of course) but at this time I am SOL for tunes unless someone can help me out.

What are my options ladies and gentlemen? Do I...
1. Call the dealer here in Omaha and see what they can offer?
2. Shoot myself?
3. Commit Hari-Kari?
4. All of the above?

I would appreciate a PM or add to the thread!

HELP! Thanks!

Toby

Yup, get your code and write it down with your registration paperwork. This way if it ever happens again, you've got it readily available.

Helpful thread.. I think I may go home and just disable the theftloc feature permanently and save myself the hassle.

Thanks to Chris pointing me in the right direction! The directions are good and yes it does work! I didn't want to steal it....I wanted to hear it!

BTW....The new code is safely stored with the registration now!

Thanks!
