'03 silverado radio - 11/24/2007 7:13:26 PM    freight shaker   Posts: 19 Joined: 8/4/2006 Status: offline Ive got an '03 silverado WT, My sister has an '07 gmc sierra classic. She said I can have her radio & bose speakers for free since they put in a differant sound system. My question is will her radio work in my truck or will the anti theft system cause a problem.

RE: '03 silverado radio - 12/29/2007 1:50:35 PM    freight shaker   Posts: 19 Joined: 8/4/2006 Status: offline Theres a decal on the side of the radio full of inspection numbers but no code numbers. I'll have to call my sister and see if she can find anything in her pickup since that's what it came out of.  On second thought I might just get a pioneer and everything to install it out of crutchfield for $200. Because I dont feel like having to put in the secret code everytime the battery gets disconnected/go's dead. < Message edited by freight shaker -- 12/29/2007 5:18:05 PM > (in reply to maradison) Post #: 6

The radio learns the vehicles vin and then it can only be used in that vehicle. If you have installed it into another vehicle it will have to be vin# unlocked by someone with a computer diagonstic tool (dealer). Once it is matched up (unlocked) it can be depowered or removed and reinstalled into and out of the new vehicle without any problems. (in reply to freight shaker) Post #: 7

Theres a good independent mechanic in town with all the diagnostic computers and scanners, would he be able to do it? (in reply to airbiz) Post #: 8
