I have a 2004 chevy blazer, I replaced the factory radio with one I bought off of ebay and it says locked on the display. How do I unlock the radio? The radios do not say RDS on them.

4. Press the AM/FM button
5. The radio display changes to another three-digit number. Write this number to the right of the first one.
6. You now have a six-digit number, the first three digits are from STEP 03 and the last three digits are form STEP 05
7. Call 1-800-537-5140
8. Press 1 then # (pound). You'll hear "Invalid Code, try again"

11. Listen to the four-digit number and write it down. It will be repeated twice

Troubleshooting
If you fail to enter the correct code eight times, the radio goes into INOP mode. You have to wait an hour with the ignition on before the radio returns to LOC mode.
You have to take it to the dealer and have them set the code for the radio. Costs 45.00 dollars
