    great now all I need is a 500 computer to get a 20 radio to work.
  • @happy543210
    putting a locking mechanism on a stock gm radio is like putting gold plated rims on a ford pinto!
  • @maestra1st
    Everybody loves a little quicky to start the week...thanks Dr. O and keep on.
  • @mariosoto645
    Very helpful What model of Autel did you use. Thanks
  • @wyattoneable
    I miss the old days but that's why I'm here...to learn and maybe even justify my own scanner. But not the Snap-on, that's way beyond my pay scale or capabilities. I'm really happy that the new one is working out for you. One less headache in the shop.
  • wow that was pretty slick..... thanks for the update Eric O. As always God bless you and your family.
  • @sirdrewh
    Big thanks for this video! I had an 04 LeSabre with a theftlocked radio. My MP808TS didn't have the "setup"option for the LeSabre. I then remembered this video and manually identified the vehicle as an 05 Aztek and used the "setup" option under there. I figured I was worth a shot, and wouldn't you know it worked like a charm to unlock the LeSabre radio!
  • @TheTexasCoder
    WAIT.....YOU FORGOT TO SHARE THE TOOL UNBOXING WITH US.... :( Mrs. O said tools arrived and I got all giddy to see new and shiny stuff! LOL, thanks for the video man, keep em coming! Have a good week!
  • @normansmith7806
    Good and quick fix!!! The Autel came in real handy!  Good video.
  • @dc5723
    About time you get something simple! A break is nice once in a while.
  • @JSchrumm
    I think you used the autel so you wouldn't break the verus pro and end up with a middle finger screen. good quick vid.
  • @montefiveforty1
    Have you tried the Modis Ultra?...super fast no waiting to load up!
  • @derekbrown8390
    Which model Autel do you have? I would love to unlock an OEM radio in my POS Trailblazer
  • @jewllake
    I put a GM navigation radio in my 2006 GMC sierra. Worked great in ACC mode, but when you went to start it "theftlock" appeared on the screen. It took the GM dealer 5 min to unlock it to the tune of $150.00. What a rip.
  • @jgsb111
    Would you say the Autel DS708 is a good scan tool for a DIY mechanic?
  • @65blablabla
    The way iv done it is to call the dealer and talk to the parts department and give them the serial number on the radio and they could give you the code to unlock it manually, worked for me in some cases,not sure it works for every car.I have the Autel scanner and didn't know this was possible so thanks Eric for the heads up.
  • @nickmontoya3255

  • @baxrok2.
