Monsoon stereo face color and lock code Hello,
My 2000 SS Monsoon stereo recently started throwing the "Err" when trying to play CDs. I'm trying to locate a replacement. I heard that up through 1999, the Monsoon units had a gray plastic faceplate and then from 2000-02, the faceplate was black. Is that true?
Also, if I buy a replacement unit from someone on this forum, or from ebay, will the unit work as is, or do I have to enter some sort of lock code? If so, How do I know what the code is and how do I enter it?
I would appreciate some help with this.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Hey what part of Alabama u in I got the factory monsoon out of a 02 Camaro if you are interested. I think that the radio has a lock code specific to each car so I think you would need the vin for whatever car it comes from. Why not just go aftermarket cd player. Oh the faceplate for the one I have is black.

Lock code So, if the person who removes the unit doesn't program a code, then the unit will work in another car with no problems? Am I understanding correctly?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Yes and the the dealer has a master code as well, so if you hook it up in your car and it doesnt work you can take it to them and just tell them when you changed your battery it locked up..

ERR code About 3 months ago mine started doing the same thing....it would say "Err" and then spit out the cd. My battery eventually died because the ejecting motor was staying on. After my battery died it pretty much reset itself. You should try disconnecting the battery cable and see if that helps. Good luck

Mewalker2: tried disconnecting power supply I pulled the fuse. The ejecting "motor" now stays off, but it still won't play a cd. Still get the Err message. At least it won't run the battery down till I can find a new unit.
