[defrag]

i just bought this stock Monsoon CD HU to replace my cassette HU but it has the Theftlock code, I have no idea how to even enter a code much less know the old one. anyone know how to bypass this?

Install it into your car and go to the dealership. I paid about 50 bucks to unlock thet locked stereo in my Pontiac.

or you coulda done this... Persitence of not wanting to get scammed by the Stealership paid off. After sifting thru like 45 pages of links on google.com i found this

Theftloc Bypass

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.

Im surprised this info isnt more easily available maybe we should add it to a FAQ


Im going to go enjoy my radio now :D

Wow, you guys paid $50 to have it removed? I went in twice with the same problem and they never charged me, just sat down in the car and took care of it...

Wow great Job finding this!!!

Ya I got charged but was eventually reimbursed by the dealer that sold me the car so really I didn't have to pay in the end. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Everything you wrote is correct except the dealer auth code is now 202108. 202107 is no longer valid.
