04 Tahoe factory cd player

The Radio is turned on by data bus in the vehicle. The radio is coded to the BCM of the radio, which means you cant even power that radio up in another vehicle of same model and year unless you take it to a dealership to have them program. So using a that radio on a show room floor is pretty much impossible . Unless you know a great engineer that can emulate a data bus of the vehicle that you pulled the radio out of.We have had that done before to use those radios at shows.

Thanks for the response. I'm talking to some of the engineers at peripherial and they are trying to work with me, so maybe that will be my only chance. Thanks for the info.
