So my moms 03 tahoe 6disc radio trapped the cds inside and I have a identical one out of my 04 and its locked. Is there any way to unlock it fully without contacting GM????

It's vin locked. There's a youtube video on it. Gotta take it apart and remove a little chip. It say ERR in the lower corner, but it doesn't affect anything.

I wonder what happens, if my CD player is in the way?? ( Hopefully, I won't have to worry about fixing my radio)......

The YouTube guy needs a producer,,,,,, What's with the minute & a half of digging into his tool cabinet looking for a needle nose?? ( I'm just being too critical ) :baby:
But, the info is good to know.

The video doesn't exactly match my radio and I can't find a chip that reads "ERR" ? Anywhere on the board

seems like a major hassle versus just pulling up to the dealer service area and asking them unlock it, they press a couple buttons, retrieve a code from the screen, go inside call gm, get a code from gm, come outside input the code in radio, done, takes less than 5 minutes and they shouldn't charge for it.

The chip doesn't say "ERR", after removing the chip it'll say "ERR" on the display screen, but it doesn't affect anything.
