I have a 2006 Chevy Malibu and I recently installed a new factory deck I purchased off of eBay to replace my other unit. Of course, the new deck has theftlock enabled and just displays "Locked" (as well as the outside temp and info menu). I've read numerous unlocking posts online that talk about holding 1+4 or 2+3 (or even 1+2) in order to retrieve the stereo codes, but that just doesn't work on this unit.

So, I know I could take this to the dealer and pay $50+ to get this unlocked, but does anyone know a way around that? The deck does not have the RDS logo or anything on the front, so hopefully that isn't the problem. If you are wondering which deck I have, here is the link from the eBay auction...

Thanks for any help!

No, dealer has to put the VIN in th new radio.

Yep, I guess so. I took it to my dealer and they took care of it in a few minutes, no charge. So I guess that was okay!
