The code is needed to unlock the stereo on your 1997 Sunfire GT?

Answer 1

When i took mine out, i opened up the glove compartment, and there are two screws on the left side that hold the center console plastic in place... take out those two screws. Now, pull the drivers side of the piece of plastic gently, it is held in there by two small clips... voila, the console is off. Now, there are two screws on either side of the radio... unscrew them. Now the radio is loose in its holder. Pull the radio out, it does take some force.. you can try prying it out too with a screwdriver. and wow, it comes out. now, the fun part. On the back bottom of the radio, all of the wires enter the radio... unhook these.. BE CAREFUL, the plastic is delicate and hard to pry out. and voila.

Or,are you talking about the electronic theft protection system? If you have disconnected the battery, the radio might not work. If you don't have the code to reprogram it, you have a problem. You can take it to a dealership, but I'm told that they charge an arm and a leg to "hook you up". Alternatively, you can look around on Ebay and find folks who will sell you the information for a few dollars. I can't vouch for those instructions, but I did actually buy instructions on how to reprogram my key fob. It worked!
