LOC code on my Radio??? HELP
I just traded in my 97 coupe for an Z06 and I pulled the head unit out to put in the XM radio! But when I pluged the head unit back in it gave me a LOC on the radio. How do I get the radio unlocked. My 97 did not do this.

Is the Z used or new? If used,
the previous owner must have programed the headunit with a code of his/her choice. I have no idea how you would go about dealing with it. I can't imagine it can be reprogramed since this is an anti-theft device, but if this the case I hope I am wrong for you sake. Might wanna try to look it up in the owners manual and see if the previous owner wrote the code down. Intructions are on page 2-12, atleast in the 99 manual.
If it is new, I guess give the dealer a call.
Either way, good luck!!

Thanks for the info. On my 97 they did not have a security code on the radio, I pulled it out like 10 times putting different head units in. It is used, and there was no owners manual when I bought the car... What I do nto understand is why even have a security device on the radio? Who would want to steal it? It is huge and ulgy, and can not be used in anything else because if the BOSE system. I jsut called GM and they said they can do it for $20.00. I was just hoping that there is an easier way
