Did you Know? Your GM Vehicle Can Become Theft Locked?

This week we talk about getting a possible theft lock on your vehicle's radio and how it can be unintentionally set in some situations.

When that happens, your vehicle’s radio becomes useless. Depending on the manufacturer, unlocking the radio theft protection may require a trip to the dealership.

That's a good thing right? Well, in most cases it is. In some cases it can be a big problem.

Theft Lock can be a great deterrent. A potential thief loses incentive to steal a radio they can’t use or resell.

But if you're a vehicle owner and lets just say you change your battery or have to disconnect the battery cables for repair or maintenance, theft lock doesn't feel like such a good idea then.

What if you purchase a used radio from eBay or a junkyard?

Legally you purchased that radio and have every right to install and use it in your vehicle. Unfortunately, the radio wasn't programmed to know when a transfer was the result of a valid sale or due to theft.

In this case, you will need to go to the dealer to get the vehicle unlocked.

If you have a 2007 or newer GM vehicle, you can skip that trip to the dealership.

OBDGenie now offers a GM Theft-Lock Disabler that only takes seconds to unlock your GM radio, No dealer needed.

It's important to note, this programmer will only remove the theft lock. The radio may  still need to be programmed further so that it works with the features enabled in your current car. 

If you need this additional programming after unlocking your radio, give us a call, we have options to get your radio programmed.

So, let OBDGenie unlock your vehicle’s potential!
