You will ship the radio to us at your expense The shipping charge in this ad is for the return trip DETAILS Have you purchased a GM radio, similar to the one pictured, that is VIN locked to another vehicle and experienced sticker shock when the GM dealer told you how much it costs to unlock it for your vehicle? If so, you've come to the right place. Simply send it to us and you'll get it back with the previous VIN removed. We've got sophisticated, proprietary equipment which allows us to clear the VIN in your radio. That means you can pop it in your vehicle without it locking after we're done. If your radio doesn't look like the one pictured, please drop us a message with the year and model of your GM vehicle. We might be able to do yours too, but we'd need to check first. *As long a you don't have the BOSE (or any other premium, amplified) sound system, and the vehicle you got the radio from doesn't have BOSE, no dealer programming will be required, which should save you $100 or more. If you have the BOSE (or any other premium, amplified) sound system, or the vehicle the radio came from did, you might need additional programming at a GM dealer.* Make sure your vehicle is on the APPLICATIONS list that appears below and there is no BOSE system in your vehicle or the donor vehicle. Please also note that we have no control over compatibility of your donor radio. In other words, we can clear the VIN from the radio you send but, if you've chosen a radio from a vehicle that is not compatible in yours, clearing the VIN may not get you a working radio. There is more than one version of the LAN system in these vehicles and they are not interchangeable. Having both vehicles on the list below is NOT an indicator the radios are interchangeable. Please contact us BEFORE purchasing to get our opinion on whether you've got a radio you can use in your vehicle. We'll need the year and model of your vehicle and the part number off your donor radio. This is not a testing, rebuilding, or repair service for your radio. All we're doing is unlocking it. We don't have to open up your radio to clear the VIN, so we don't touch any of the internal components. The radio is merely connected to the test equipment on our bench. Should we happen to notice there are functional problems with your radio, they are completely outside our control. We offer many GM repairs and can usually give you options for repairing the problem but it is not included in the VIN clear process. We usually offer a discount on additional repairs though, since the radio is already here. Even if you've somehow tested your radio prior to shipment and don't think it has any problems, please note it is possible for problems to arise in shipping. We often get radios that have not been packaged well for the trip. Even if they have, it's not unheard of for filaments to break in bulbs or CD drives to get locked up because of particularly nasty jolts. Again, we have no control over it. That is one risk of sending a radio off to be VIN cleared rather than paying your dealer 3-4 times to do it as part of their programming process. The ad shows an extended handling time for this item. That's simply because we must account for the time it takes you to get the radio ready and the time it takes to get here. We are required to put a tracking number into the system within the handling time we put in the ad. If there is a delay in getting the radio to us (and/or shipping takes a few days getting it to us), we would get a defect for not shipping it back to you in time, even though the delay would have nothing to do with us. We do not hold your radio for 15 days. We complete repairs within 3 business days, as noted above. If you get your radio to us in a timely fashion, it will be returned by the estimated shipping date you see in the ad. If you do not get us your radio in a timely fashion, we reserve the right to cancel the order. We should not get a defect for a delay in getting the radio to us. APPLICATIONS This unlock service is for locked factory CD and CD6 radios (not Nav and not DVD CD dual drives) in the following vehicles without BOSE (or any other premium, amplified) sound system, except where noted: Buick Enclave: 2008-2012 Buick Lucerne: 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS: 2006-2011 Chevrolet Avalanche: 2007-2013 Chevrolet Cobalt: 2007-2010 Chevrolet Equinox: 2007-2008 Chevrolet Express: 2008-2019 Chevrolet HHR: 2006-2010 Chevrolet Impala: 2006-2013 Chevrolet Malibu: 2010-2012 Chevrolet Monte Carlo: 2006-2007 Chevrolet Silverado: 2007-2013 Chevrolet Suburban: 2007-2014 Chevrolet Tahoe: 2007-2014 Chevrolet Traverse: 2009-2012 GMC Acadia: 2007-2012 GMC Savana: 2008-2019 GMC Sierra: 2007-2013 GMC Yukon: 2007-2014 Hummer H2: 2008-2009 Pontiac G5: 2007-2010 Pontiac G6: 2009-2010 (Except 2009 w/ old style radio) Pontiac Solstice: 2006-2010 Pontiac Torrent: 2007-2009 Saturn Aura: 2007-2010 Saturn Ion: 2006-2007 Saturn Outlook: 2007-2010 Saturn Sky: 2006-2010 Saturn Vue: 2008-2010 Others are possible. Message us to ask about yours. INSTRUCTIONS You will purchase the service from this listing first. Then you will send your radio AND a copy of an order email to: Replacement Radios Attn: Repairs 2301 S. Banker St, Ste B Effingham, IL 62401 Please keep your tracking number. Our techs do not answer inquiries, so questions about receipt of your package or estimated completion date will NOT be answered. Your tracking number shows when we received the package. The programming turn-around time is indicated above. You will receive a tracking number when it ships back out. If there is a problem or unexpected delay, we will contact you. Calling or emailing us about progress only serves to slow down progress. We know it's tough to go without a radio for a week or more but please be patient. Factory service centers take 3+ weeks when you send something to them, so we're clearly exceeding the standard. Make sure there is no media in the radio before you ship it, if possible. The risk of shipping damage to CD and cassette drives goes up if there is media left in it. Repairs are not covered under this service. This is a VIN-clear service only. Please do not send your package without the requested paperwork or, at the very least, a note that indicates your User ID or order number. Between inventory, repairs, and returns, we get hundreds of items every week. Packages that show up without any documentation WILL experience a delay in processing. When you ship your radio to us, use common sense. You don't want it to get here with additional problems because it wasn't packaged properly. The major shipping companies require a minimum of 2 inches of fill on every side of the item in order for them to potentially honor an insurance claim. Here are some strong recommendations for your shipment to us: Purchase coverage for the replacement value, to protect yourself from damage or loss Don't throw it in an under-sized box, with one piece of bubble or some newspaper! Do use LOTS of quality fill/stuffing so the radio can't contact the side of the box This keeps it from moving around in the box during shipment Make sure the fill/stuffing is not the kind that can smash down in shipping We use bubble wrap with the large bubbles Make sure the box you are using is at least 4 inches larger than the radio in every dimension This allows 2 inches of space between every side of the radio and the box SHIPPING HANDLING Shipping cost is based on weight and zip code. This site does the figuring, not us. If you feel their calculation is high, you might be underestimating the package weight and/or current shipping costs from our zip code (62401) to yours. Please don't ding us for shipping in the ratings, as we have no control over ever-increasing carrier rates. We will enter a tracking number into your order details here on the site. They will email it to you if your notification preferences are set correctly. A signature is not typically required. If you are not home to receive the package, it will most likely be left at your door. Please monitor it's progress and arrange to collect it when it arrives. This site provides a section/tab in each ad for Shipping information. We encourage you to check that section for prices, methods, time-frames, etc.
