The dealer should be able to unlock it. I think you'd have to provide the VIN of the car the radio came from.

However, if you're installing a model of radio that wasn't available in that year or your trim level, they might not be able to do that.

Will the Tech II do that on a Cruze? I didn't think they worked on Cruzes. You had to use a MDI to connect it to the computer which in turn needs a subscription to the GM website.

So what I understand is that only MDI tool which could do VIN relearn to my vehicle.
I think it's most likely to be successful.

I know a guy who had a workshop own a MDI tool. But the question is, do I really want the old VIN of the HU to reprogarm or what?

I'm thinking that GM will require the old VIN - it's all part of a anti-theft system. I'd think GM would be checking the VIN against stolen cars.

From what I've seen from other sales, the seller provides the VIN - so I suspect it is required.
