Cthomp Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 I have an 04 SS and factory CD player went out. I have a like new(factory) one from an 05 that I would like to install. Will it work and what will I need to do to unlock it? Thanks Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdan11 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 it will hook right up, but you will have to go to a GM dealership and unlock it for about $90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psualumni Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 On this topic... I have a 2004 with the CD/AM/FM/TAPE DECK, and want to replace it with a OEM CD/AM/FM/SAT head unit because who listens to tapes and I love XM. If I buy a new old stock or rebuilt unit is all I have to do is go to the Chevy Dealer and they can unlock it to my VIN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was out of another vehicle then vin will be programmed and that's when you need to have unlocked. Also you will need to add an XM antenna if you don't have one. It's funny how tape decks are like dinosaurs now.... CDs are heading that way. Most new vehicles don't even come with CD players anymore which kinda sucks.
