I just spent a few anxious hours pulling the radio out of my Silverado to replace some burnt out lamps. Not only didn't get it done, I screwed it up more. The radio is an RDS type, so I tried to pull the face plate off without disconnecting the radio connectors. All I accomplished was to lose a few more lamps in the faceplate.
So, how did you get the radio out and back in again without activating the antitheft thingy? From what I read on the RDS radios, you have to take it to a dealer or have a dealers scan tool to reset the code. Is that no longer a problem?
