I am replacing with an after marker, however, I don't have a manual for either one of them. There is a number written on the top of my new stereo, but I'm not sure if this is the code. Is there another way to get the code? I am nervous about trying it incase it doesn't work.I am replacing with an after marker, however, I don't have a manual for either one of them.

Hi
im dave
your vehicles stereo is equipped with an antitheft system that render it inoperable once removed. If you are replacing with another ac delco make sure you have the code for that stereo. If you are replacing it with after market then find the section in your owners manual that tells you how to set the code, set it and write it down (maybe on the stereo) so you can sell it as those factory ac delco stereos are quite pricey

if a code was not reset from factory, I think the owner's manual tells you what the factory setting is. If someone reset the code and didn't right it down, you're SOL on it. Need to take it to a dealership to help you out then.
it is always cheaper to buy a working used one from a junkyard than to fix the old one. look around on eBay, craigslist, and junkyards. recyclers pull the radios and owners manuals out of cars and pile them in the office. so call around to local junkyards looking for a recent pontiac with CD player. you will most likely have to take a sawzall to your old one to get your discs out, but CDs are old tech now anyway. you should be able to get one for under 50 bucks, if you are not handy stereo install shops take them out and put them in very quickly and cheaply and are yet another source for used OEM stereos.
I just bought the haynes book and here is what it says,, when the owner is restored to the stereo the stereo wont turn on and LOC will appear.. here is what it says.. ... turn on ignition switch but leave stereo off
Press MN button.. 000 should display ... it says that in 2002 two an dlatermodels
that it will learn a portion of the VIN number fo your vehicle.. so you will just have to try those numbers until it works.. syas that you press the HR button until the first one or two Numbers match your code.. Press AM/FM button SEC should appear indicating the stereo is unlocked.d. if LOC appears the numbers arent correct.. try again..
