Unlocking a Locked Delphi GM Factory Radio:

Method 1: Using the Serial Number

1. Gather Information:

- Remove the radio from the vehicle if it's not already out.

- Locate the serial number sticker on the radio. It's usually on the side or back of the radio and starts with a "C." Note down this serial number.

2. Contact the Dealership:

- Contact a GM dealership or authorized service center.

- Provide them with the serial number and relevant vehicle information (year, make, model).

- They may provide you with an unlock code or instructions on how to unlock the radio.

Method 2: Online Unlock Services (Third-Party):

- Search for a reputable third-party online service that offers GM radio unlocking.

- Enter the serial number and relevant information on their website.

- Pay the unlock fee if applicable.

- Follow their instructions to receive and enter the unlock code.

Method 3: Using a Radio Unlock Tool:

- Search online for a suitable radio unlock tool or device that's compatible with GM/Delphi radios.

- Follow the instructions provided by the unlock tool manufacturer.

- The tool may connect to your radio via a cable or OBD-II port and potentially provide an unlock code or automated unlock functionality.

Note:

- Please ensure you're dealing with a reputable source or website if using a third-party unlock service or radio unlock tool, as some may be untrustworthy or provide malware.

- If the radio is not unlocking despite the correct code, there may be a different issue or problem with the radio itself, and you may need to consult a qualified electronics repair professional.
