There is NO way you're gonna get through a smog check without fixing the problem. You can turn off the light, but that'll be an automatic fail. They can tell when you clear a code.

you need the unlock code from the manufacturer. I had a radio lock up but the company had me send it to them for them to unlock. i had to prove that i bought it and it was not stolen.
You can go to the dealer and they can help you with the radio code and get the radio working again, but if they want crazy money for the code. Log on to radio-code.com. They can get you the radio code for a small fee and you get to keep the code for future radio lockouts. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to know your radio is working again.
The problem is with the body computer; my wifes 01 lost the fuel door, trunk lid, radio, clock and sunroof functions intermittently, but all at the same time. It became really annoying reaching through the back seat into the trunk to open the trunk.
I installed a used 99' body computer, took it to the dealer, reprogrammed the computer to accept the existing radio (when you switch the computer, the radio; Bose, will be locked out) because it's married to the car through the body computer. This is the security system used to protect theft of the radio.
If you remove the radio from one car and install in to another, the radio will lock out. You need a tech II scanner to program the computer.
Dealer charged me $120 for labour which is minimum 1 hour shop time. Actual programming took only 10 minutes. That's why GM is doing so well on the car market. I have no pity for them.
the purplr wire are data wires and are needed to hookup to the olds alero computer to allow it to turn on. these radios do not use acc. power wire to turn on. they get a data signal from the Body control module in the car it is installed originally. If you know what you are doing you can hookup up a BCM from a diiferent car and send the data from it to the radio. but takes alot of time and knowledge.
It's the body control module. It's located under the dash to the left of the steering column. I had same problem, went to the junk yard and bought one and the problem went away. Dealer wants $600.00-700.00 for the BCM, I paid $30.00
Try entering the default Jensen passcode "012345". It may sound silly, but it'll work if the owner hasn't changed the password to their own personal code.
