The only way to get the code is to call a Chevy dealership and talk to the service department. They will want your VIN number to look it up in their computer. Sometimes they even want you to come to the dealership to show proof of ownership.

if u have ur code to reset the radio use it if not notify dealer for radio code to reset when battery goes dead radio thinks its being stolen and goes into anti theft mode

You may, but more likely not. Make sure that if you have a theftloc radio that you have the code before disconnecting the battery. I would disconnect the negative terminal. On a side note, if your only going to leave it for a month to 2, then it is really not necessary, the only drain on your battery will be the clock. I would be a little more concerned with the fuel, and for a couple months, it will still be ok. Much longer and a fuel stabilizer will be a good idea.

You have to go to the dealer. If you disconnect battery with theftloc and don't know the code, that is the only way to get it reset. When you do that, make sure you keep the new code.

you need to call your local dealership and they will give you the code to reset you radio.. good luck keith..p.s. remeber to write down the codes, that way if it happens again you will have the code for the radio..

First I would try to disconnect the negative cable and then reconnect the cable. See if it resets.

The radio is in TheftLoc mode. You must go to the dealer and they can unlock it for you, for a price of course. Unless the code has been written in the owners manual somewhere. It's usually a 4 or 5 digit code.
