If the code is not available, you will have to reomve the radio, get the serial number and usually provide the VIN# to the dealership for the code.

Don't remove the radio and don't try entering codes. If you have entered more than 7 incorrect codes, you must have the car's ignition on for minimum one hour before anything can be done. Take your car to a GM dealer and they can unlock the radio very easily. They can pull a back up code out of the radio and use it to derive a proper unlock code. Have them either tell you the code so you can record it or deactivate the system so it won't lock unless you decide to put in your own code.
