Need radio unlock code for 2000 saturn

My Car (Saturn SL1) audio is locked. I've tried EVERYWHERE for this. All these unlock code websites provide codes for Saturns up to year 1999. Mine is a 2000 Saturn SL1, & everyone is clueless about that! I have asked Cust. Service of www.radio-code.com if they can help me, let's see if they can. In any case, does anyone know how to get the 'retailer code' of your car? Should it be in the car paperwork? That is another way it might help.

    I will try other GM dealers - hope they will be more helpful than the local Saturn dealer!

    any GM dealer can get the code for you. It is difficult to get because it is a security feature. If everyone had it that would no longer be true. All you need is the car and proof you own it.

Hello,

The best possible thing I could advise you to do would be this. Sometimes they can do it over the phone. Tell them that you are having issues with your radio being locked. Usually they can look up by your VIN number and get you your unlock code. Otherwise you will have to take it to the dealer and have them hook up their vehicle scanner (Tech-2) and they will be able to fix it. Everyone on the internet has their own secret ways about how to obtain these codes, but with it comes to GM the best way is to take it to a dealer.

Good Luck!

Saturn dealer is REQUIRED to give you that information. Providing you show proof of ownership of the car and radio!!! It is not an "if they feel like it" arrangement!

Who would be the dealership for a saturn 2000 ls ,i bought it used and radio needs code

Saturn is a GM product, take it to any Chevy dealer and they should be able to help you. Although, if the previous owner left the car manual in the glove box then the factory unlock code should be there, unless they previous owner changed the code then the dealer will have to reset it.

2000 saturn radio is locked. how do i unlock

1.) To begin, if your radio is displays LOC, then proceed to step 2. If your radio says INOP, then turn your ignition to the RUN position, and turn the radio ON. You must leave it like this for a minimum of 1 hour (not 59 minutes) to clear the INOP message. I would wait 1 1/2 hours just in case doing it too early causes the timer to start over.

2.) Turn your ignition to RUN (if not already), and your radio to OFF. Press and hold preset buttons 2 and 3 for around 5-10 seconds to obtain a scrambled version of your radio's original factory set code.


3.) Call a GM dealer with this code. Tell them you are with a local shop i.e. I am Joe with Good Year Highway Tire; Then tell them: We have a 2000 Saturn SL we just changed a battery in and the radio is now locked. My mechanic pulled the pre-code. Could you give me the code? This usally works at no charge.

Once you have the code write it down. Keep atleast 2 copies. Hope this helps!
