NO RDS Radios
Sorry, we can not retrieve your code
RDS stands for Radio Data System. This technology allows stations to transmit additional types of information via encoded digital signals that can be received and displayed by the user's Radio. For instance: an RDS-capable Radio can display the title and artist or current song playing, local traffic information, an advertiser's phone number while a commercial is playing, etc.
Locking a radio usually occurs when your battery dies or you take your car in for service and they disconnect the battery during a procedure. This action sets the radio into its Theftlock mode to render the radio useless to a potential thief. Most often you forget your security code or you have purchased the car used and never entered one of your own. If you end up in the "LOC" mode and do not know your code, you are stuck . . . until now.
Before you start, please note that the radio must be in "LOC" mode
NOT in "INOP" mode
Example: If you have activated the Theft-Deterrent feature of your radio and lose power, the radio goes into "LOC" (Theftlock) mode. With the ignition ON, you must use the MN and HR buttons to enter you personal code in order to unlock it. If you fail to enter the correct code eight (8) times, the radio goes into "INOP" mode. You must then wait an hour with the ignition on before the radio returns to "LOC" mode procedure. Then you will have three (3) more attempts to unlock the radio before it goes into "INOP" mode again.
If your radio is in "LOC" mode,
please follow the steps below to retrieve your code:
1. Turn the ignition ON (The radio displays "LOC").
2. Press and hold presets buttons 2 & 3 or 1 & 4 for approximately 10 seconds (on some newer models, press hold presets buttons 1 & 2). The radio display changes from "LOC" to a three-digit number. Write this number down. If you have a Saturn or GEO, see note below and skip to step 5.
Don’t take long, fifteen seconds max before the next step
3. Press the AM/FM button. The radio display changes to another three-digit number. Write this number to the right of the first one.
4. You now have a six-digit number, the first three digits are from STEP 2 and the last three digits are from STEP 3, so you will have a number like this ( 212 - 212 )
5. Submit your payment of $2.49 USD to unlockmyradio@radiounlock.com by using PayPal, and in the "comment" or "instruction to merchant" section provide the six (or four) digit code from Step #4, the make of the car (as the steps to input the unlock code differ by manufacturer) and a valid email address for us to email the code back to you. We will then email you your unlock code and steps to get your radio unlock.

NOTE: Saturn and GEO Vehicles only require a four (4) digit serial #. The forth digit will be displayed half the size of the first three digits. Example: 4523
