1. Press and hold presets 2 & 3 for about 10 seconds until the first 3 digits of the display code are displayed
2. Write the numbers down.
3. Press the AM FM button, write down the next 3 numbers
4. Call 1-800-537-5140, when asked, enter 202107, press the “button” and enter the 6 digit code from the radio, you will get an unlock code, write it down.
5. Go back to the car, press the HR button and set the first 2 numbers, then press minute button and set the next two last numbers, press AM FM button, SEC should be displayed, turn on radio
To remove customers code, repeat step 5. you should see --- on radio face, the code is now out of the radio.

202107 which should be for pontiac comes up as invalid.

102107 which is for chevy comes up with code: 0753

But, on T/A's you cant press 0753 on our stereos. It only goes from 1-6.

Im so fricken annoyed by this problem that I could pull my hair out.

I finally figured it out. Why the hell would those dumbass' give you 0753 for the code when 753 is the only numbers used to unlock the damn thing?

While were on the subject, what kind of idiot would want to steal a factory monsoon radio that isnt worth ****. Unbelievable...

A friend of mine's car was broken into and the only thing stolen were his dance shoes.
