The unit needs a code to reset which should be on the front or back page of the manual.

There is a fuse in the wiring behind the radio, it's a straight fuse in a wiring line, not the kind from the fuse box. I would say to pull the radio (I'm not sure how on your specific car, sorry) and check that fuse. If you google how to remove the radio it will give step by step directions. If you don't want to do it yourself, take it to your local radio shop, they will be able to fix it quickly and it shouldn't cost alot for them to diagnose it and fix it. Good Luck!

Try pulling the fuse out for 10 min for your radio at the fuse box. This should reset the radio, so you can get your cd to work again. If this does not work, then your going to have to bring it to the dealer to have them scan the radio and or reboot it to have it function properly again. It's common for the dealers to have to reprogram the stereo system on newer cars.
Thank you for using fixya and good luck.

Use the supplied fues puller or a needle nose pliers and pull the old one out and press the new one in. Very simple

All GM dealerships can have the radio repaired. prices vary.

Turn off car. Remove the fuse that goes along with the radio, it's under the dash on passenger side. Replace it and turn car back on.
