To unlock them you need a scan tool that can talk to the radio and either write in the VIN of the vehicle it is now in, or you can erase the VIN that is in the radio and unplug it. Plug it back in and the BCM will think it's a new unit and write the current VIN to the memory chip. The Tech II, MDI, and a few of the after market scan tools can do it. -- Steve W.
