radio should be good. all though if it is locked the dealer must call it in. sorry bout' your luck with theives though. had a pioneer riped off second day in my car..
thats y i never leave my car alone for more than a few hours
It should work with your car, or any 00-05 Cavalier or Sunfire. You will more than likely have to go a dealer and have the radio lock removed. Once it is programmed for your car you will not have to have it reprogrammed again. You should also look into factory CD/Mp3 players. I have a Grand Am GT Monsoon Mp3 player that allows factory fit and finish, door chimes, red display with equalizer, Mp3 Capability, and of course is undesirable to would be thieves. If, however, you decide that you want want the Radio on eBay and miss out on it, let me know. I have the same exact one with cassette capability as well, and I will sell it to you for the same price plus shipping.
just out of curiousity... can I take JUST the HU to the dealer for the reprogram? or do I have to install it in the vehicle first and then go to the dealer?

you have to install it i think. you might get away with it. call and ask
keep in mind if you get a monsoon you need the amp that goes with it too
My buddy bought a 98 S10 with a Theftlock stereo and didn't know the code when he got the truck. After I unplugged his deck wired in the amp and subs, and plugged the deck back in, the stereo was locked. He took it to the dealer where he had to leave the truck running for 30 minutes straight. They then hooked him up with a code reset to all zeros. If the seller had the code set, get the code, if not it's prolly still all zeros.
