These cars they come with the VIN number on the radio so we gonna reprogram them. You can unlock some radios by removing a little chip inside.
But this radio has two chips so we just gonna use the j2534 for autel maxflash pro and the SPS application from the dealership.

If you don’t have the Autel J2534 tool (Maxisys, IM608 etc) you can find other cheaper ones at 100 bucks, like GM MDI, GM MDI2 clone, vxdiag vcx nano for GM.  The software is called SPS and you can go to the website ACdelcotds.com and get a subscription for 40 dollars and the software is free. You can program any module in the car for 2 years.

We prefer the programming way because when you remove the two chips inside, it will lose the memory that is used to store the stations and the audio configuration.
