Radio

On the models I've used (and maybe this is just an issue of word choice?) you do the following: 1) Select the 'station' or frequency you want to store as a pre-set by turning the right (tuning) knob. A) in older models, FM or AM doesn't matter, as the button is only "remembering" a position on the dial. B) in newer (but still push-button or 'old-style') models, the button will also switch between FM and AM, but each button remembers BOTH the band AND the frequency, but will not remember more than one station (I.e. The button wouldn't remember one station for FM and a different one for AM) on the same button -- except of course, if those two stations happened to be exactly the same linear position on the dial. 2) Pull the 'push-button' mechanism out towards you all the way (one click, usually) -- it may take a little more effort than you think or you way need to lift up slightly on the push-button to get it to move, especially if it's been a couple of decades. 3) Push the 'push-button' back in all the way -- the linear mechanism on the dial should not move at this point. 4) Test your new pre-set by moving the dial to the left or right using the right-hand (tuning) knob then pushing the same 'push-button' in. The linear mechanism -- if working properly -- should now move the dial to your new location and change the frequency to your chosen 'station'. On new (digital) radios in cars, of course, you tune in the band and frequency (and in some cases a 'bank' of presets [such as 'FM1', 'FM2', 'XM1' / 'SAT1', or 'AM1'] that you want to store then push-and-hold the chosen pre-set button (generally the radio will beep and / or flash the display and / or audibly re-tune the station once the setting has been stored) it may take up to three seconds in some cases for the setting to 'take' -- if you're having issues, hold the button in a bit longer until you get some sort of reaction from your radio and / or watch the radio's display to see if there is a message or prompt, as in many cases the radio may ask you if you REALLY want to change an existing preset, or the radio may need more information such as the 'bank' [again, meaning something like 'FM1', 'FM2', 'XM1' / 'SAT1', or 'AM1']in which you want to store the preset. Hope that helps!

select station and pull the knob fully. keeps memory.

Applies to HONDA factory radios:

First: Check the owner's manual. If you're lucky, sometimes the dealer or former owner will have written down the security code number somewhere in the manual (inside the front cover, or on the page that describes the radio operation, are favorite places). Also check the interior of the glove compartment - sometimes the dealer will affix a sticker containing the radios serial number and/or security code, there. IF NOT: You will need to retrieve the radio SERIAL NUMBER. On SOME radios you can do this by holding down both the number 1 and the number 6 buttons simultaneously as you turn the radio on. If you have one of those radios, the serial number will appear in the tuning window when you turn it on. IF NOT: You will need to loosen the radio and slide it far enough out of the dashboard in order to read the serial number off the plate that is affixed either on the back, or the bottom, of the radio case. When you have gotten the serial number - either call the Honda Customer Service 800 number, or stop by your local Honda dealer and give them the serial number and they should be able to give you the anti-theft security code for your radio. WRITE IT DOWN SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU WON"T FORGET IT! This will happen every time the battery is disconnected or goes dead.

on each side of the radion there is a cover you need to remove those and insert a FIRM wire through the holes that you see on each side. insert the wire that is u shaped through top and bottom, there are clips on the side of the radio that eed t be pressed inward so you add pressure to the wire outward and pull as you are pressing, this should release the clips. if you don't care for the radio, you can force pry it out cause those lips can be a pain in the butt.

New Method! If you take four 1 1/4" drywall screws and screw them halfway in to the four little holes, pull to the sides and slide out your radio! they are easily sturdy enough to push in the clips and make a great handle to pull the radio out with!

GM DELCO THEFTLOCK RADIO UNLOCK CODE:

1. Press and hold presets 2 and 3 for about 5 to 10 seconds until you

get 3 digits on your display. This is the first 3 of 6 digits you will

need, so write 'em down.

2. After doing step one and writing down the code, immediately press

the

AM/FM button to get the last 3 of the 6 numbers you'll need, and write

'em down. (if you wait too long between steps 1 and 2 and the LOC code

displays again, just start over).

3. Call this number, it's a prerecorded message, so don't worry about

having to talk to anyone...1-800-537-5140. The voice will ask if

you're

calling for Chevy, Pontiac, Cadillac, etc... When you here him tell

you

to press "2" for Pontiac, press 206010 (account number invalid; 11/25/2008) and hit the # key. He'll ask

you

for the 6 digit code that you've written down. Enter that and press

the

* key. He will then give you a code, and the option to get additional

4

digit codes, but one should be sufficient.

4. Follow the normal procedure in your owners manual for unlocking the

radio with your new code...press the hour set button on your radio

until

you get the first two numbers of the code, then press the minute set

button until you've entered the last two numbers. Immediately press

the

AM/FM button once the correct code is entered and the code SEC or

"secured" will be displayed on the display screen. Now, just turn the

radio on, and your ready to roll.

There is an additional step you can take to remove all codes from the

radio and start from scratch by entering your own personalized 4 digit

code so that it won't get you in a pickle again! Just repeat step 4

and

you should get a display screen that reads ---. This means the code is

out, and you can now program your own code. Of course, once you

receive

the 4 digit code from the GM recorded message, just keep it in a safe

place, because you can use that same code again and again should you

have any more problems with it in the future. Good luck, and yes, it

does work.

Troubleshooting

If you fail to enter the correct code eight times, the radio goes into INOP mode. You have to wait an hour with the ignition on before the radio returns to LOC mode.
