Default oem nav 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.

I have went to the dealer several times to unlock radios. Only takes 3 to 5 minutes and have yet to be charged. Call a dealer or two and see what they say. Talk with the service writer though.

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.

If I were you I'd go down when you need an oil change at the stealership oops I'm sorry meant dealership and give one of the mechs a 12 pack on a friday and your radio will be unlocked. You'd be surprised how much the mechs help you with out charging!
