Help My Cd Player Went to Theft Mode

[B1rdbrain]

So I Got A Check Eng. Light. I needed the Oil Change and thats the ONLY reason i can find that the dummy Light would come on for. So I disconnected the Pos. on the Bat. and reset the Computer. Now the stock radio/cd/mp3 player is asking for a code. What Code? where can i find the code? who has the code? I can not live with out a radio when i drive. HELP i need to fix this yesterday. Yes I Got The Oil Change but it was at 2,500 Miles not 3,000 Miles

2004 Chevy Aveo. 4 Door. Blue. Yes It's A Chevy, Not a Daewoo!

You can go to the dealership and they can give you the code....

Be prepared to be thoroughly frustrated. It took me hours on the phone and 3 trips to the dealership before they were able to get my code. Just make sure they write it down for you when they get it in case it happens again.

How do you know for sure what the check engine light was for? Without a code reader, you'll never be sure.

my oil was due. and they didn't reset my cumputer at the dealership when i got it done.

Its outlined in the Owner's Manual about it. It says that they are supposed to give you a little red card that has all those codes stamped on to it and I think it shows you how to do it....My 04 did not come with one. I dont need it anywho, because I got a Pioneer in the slot now.

So OK Here Is What Had To Be Done.

i had to go to the dealer they checked everything and found out they had to pull the radio to get the I.D. number on the top of the radio. Green Sticker that you can hardly read. then call canada (some number in the 905 area code) and read them the part number, I.D. Number, and the Vin Number. they then had to look up in a computer to give the DEALER the 4 diget Number to enter the code. they wanted to charge me $85 just to pull the radio. good thing they had no time in the shop so my tec guy did it for me for free. now it's fixed and it was the biggest pain in the A$$ to get this done.
