Pontiac 2004 GTO - Manual (Page 150)

Theft-Deterrent Feature
Your radio has an electronically coded security system.
The system recognizes the vehicle which your radio
has been installed. If the radio is kept in the vehicle, the
PIN should not be required, even if the battery or the
radio has been removed and reinstalled.
If the link between your vehicle and the radio is
disrupted, the radio will prompt you for a 4-digit PIN
code to be entered.
The PIN is supplied on your security card. As the pin is
the only means of enabling operation of the radio,
place the security card in a safe place. Do not leave the
security card in your glovebox. The PIN should also
be written down and kept with other important
documents.
If your security card is lost and the PIN is not recorded,
the PIN can be requested from your dealer, after
supplying proof of ownership. There may be a charge
for this service.
When the radio and vehicle are turned off, the blinking
red light indicates that your radio is armed.
Security Release Procedure
To type in your PIN code, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to ACCESSORY.
2. Turn the radio on. CODE_ _ _ _ will appear on the
display.
3. Use the preset buttons to enter the PIN code.
If the wrong PIN code is entered, the radio will display
CODE ERR WAIT.
After a few seconds, the radio will display
CODE 2_ _ _ _, indicating that this is the second
attempt. The correct code should now be entered.
After three attempts, the radio will display
LOCK OUT 1 HR. After 1 hour, the radio will allow
another three attempts to enter the PIN.
