I was wondering if anyone had the problem with umm well my anti theft ewas on my radio and when i took it out i forgot to turn it off and nw it doesnt work so does anyone know how to reset it so i put the factory radio back into my 98 gp or is it not possible to do that. if someone could help me out i would really like that thank you

Take it in to your Dealer, Any Local GM dealer should be able to Un-llock it for you, (if you forgot the code) otherwise there should be a procedure in the owners manual to unlock it if you have the code.

Good Luck-

Yeah, this happened to me too. Bought the 98 used (from a non-Pontiac dealer), and it required a new battery before I took delivery. When I then took possession, the radio no longer worked. I didn't have the code. Called a Pontiac dealer. He told me a sequence of things to do which then gave me some sorta readout on the radio dial. I then told the dealer what the readout said, and he gave me the code from a "decoder" book that every dealer has. I used that code to re-established radio usability, then changed the code to something I could easily remember (and wrote it into the owner's manual) in accordance with the directions in the owner's manual. First step, call a Pontiac dealer.

PS - once you've got the radio working again, you might want to consider turning off the code thing. We DO have that option. I just now thought about that. I think I'll just turn mine off. Who the heck is going to steal a stock radio out of a car, anyway?

That should do the trick
