They replaced the battery, so now the radio is locked up & I called a Chevy dealer up & they wouldn't give me the code. Any chance of getting it unlocked or will I have to buy a new radio? I have the 1st two 3-digit series of #'s I need & that's it...

It can be unlocked by an authorized dealer.
But first look in the glove box. Normally when the radio is installed the worker takes the sticky with the code number off the radio and sticks it inside the glove box on the wall somewhere. So look in there for just a sticky with numbers on it.
Otherwise a dealer will have to remove the radio and reset it on a workbench... They don't like doing it because it is a PIA and hard to charge a lot of money for.
Good Luck

I wonder how many more surprises you are in for ?? It is very simple to change a battery without loosing the radio code. If I were you I would go back to them and have the problem corrected on thier dime. Yes it is a pain in the butt for the dealership as it is not a two min. job and they feel bad having to charge the customer for the time it actualy takes however it may be your last resort.

go to the agency and tell them the story and provide some thing proving that you are the owner and they will be able to give you the code.

Call and demand to speak to the General Mgr. This is crazy and bad customer service why they wont help you. You deserve better and tell them that.
