Stock radio replacement

[04SS99Denali]

my radio basically has every single light burn out. im looking for a rebuilt one. i know in the gmt800 trucks (03 -07 with the built in 6 disk) you had to have the dealer program new radios with your VIN number or else it would be in theft mode. are these the same or just plug and play any radio?

also looking to order a new climate control panel for the same reasons. im assuming these just plug in? the gmt800 trucks also needed the climate system programmed also

Check YouTube for videos on how to replace the bulbs in both.

There are sellers on eBay that sell refurbished radios. I bought one a few years ago and it was just plug and play. I think they advertised the Theftlock (or whatever it's called) as being disabled.

Just make sure you match the mounting brackets on the side with your existing. I think that some used a slide-in style and others some other type.

yea i was reading about the theft lock, just wanted to verify how true it was. i saw the videos on how to replace bulbs. lets just say im pretty car savvy and ill do almost anything on my own. with the exception of electrical work lol i absolutely hate it.

i will check out the bracket before i do anything thanks for the tip
