"LOCKED" Deck

Changed out the deck in my LT for Rangerondubz's MP3 deck... now, of course, it's locked. I forgot how to unlock it... Do I have to take it to a dealer?

My dealer will probably call the cops or something, knowing them. Either that, or they won't know what in the hell I'm talking about.

well....lock the car with your clicker, wait a few minutes to let the security feature reset, then unlock it with the clicker, and start the car again....seriously try it. That worked for me the times it happened!

I just took it to the dealer where I bought the car, said I purchased the HU from a friend.

They just reprogrammed it with their Tech2.
Charged my 1/2 hour worth of work, which was 29$ CDN for me.

Never had an issue after that.
