6disc in dash swap 06

[Ironballs]

Just got an 06 sierra work truck,.. basic basic with only an am/fm radio. I want stock looking and cheap. I found a cheap 6 disc in=dash unit from an 06 hummer (part number 15261537). Will this just swap in, enter the securiety code that came with the radio, and them be on my way?

 

that would be great if thats the case...

no, is the unit you bought a bose piece im betting it is. look to see if it says bose on it. if it does forget it. if not you can put it in but it will not work untill you take it in to your dealer and have it reset and even then they may not be able to do anything.These new databus radios are strange. they are vin set to the vehicle

I got the item. Seller says it is bose. Radio does not say bose anywhere, but does have a silver face, and seller says his speaker covers all say bose.

 

I hooked it up no problem. Had to cut a bit so the holes line up...

Pulled the batt, then the radio, then hooked it up, then the radio.

 

System worked great in accessory mode. Sounded great, fm and cd tested.

Then started the car and the stereo locked immediately. Display says lock. Seller gave me a 3 digit code, including a zero, but unit has no zero.

 

Dealer told me to come in, after 2-3 days to clear it (not right away, as if i tried to enter the code and did it wrong, then dealer cant access it either). I call BS, but will go there in a few days and hope he can clear it/make it work again
