my lights in my radio starting going out( i have the base one for the grandprix) so i purchased a perfectly working one from jp gxp or battle ravage ( w.e his name is now lol) well i plugged it all up and it says its lock. i did research and said the radios need to match up with the original cars vin and if it doesnt it locks itself... how do i unlock it??

usually you need the code that came with the radio you put in.........dealership will prbably charge 1 hour labor for it i bet especially if they have to call and get the code

There's a place in Syracuse, NY called United Radio that works on any type of radio, speedometer heads on cars and a ton of other stuff. They also unlock radios for only $25 which is probably a hell of a lot cheaper then going to the dealer. Obviously you can't go there since you're down in Lousiana but do a little research and calling around and you might come up with a similar company.
