I know it can work but my question is do I have to install the 08 head unit first? Then take the car to the dealer? I don't think this would work as the head unit has a security lock out, or does it not matter?

Secondly anyone a GM tech that can do it cheaper than $100+ that the dealership wants to flash it? They said it takes an hour to flash the headunit....

yeah you got to install it first. it will show locked but then the dealership has to reprogram it to your vin# an hour? cant take that long.

Takes less than 2 minutes via their tech2.

Install it first.

Also go to a different dealership as they obviously dont know what they are talking about.

Yeah I figured as much, I guess they don't want to waste their time on it. Anyone from NJ know anyone that has a tech 2 that will do it for cheap?

Or know if a Snap-On Modis works? My buddy has a Modis and it does a bunch of stuff but not sure if it can unlock a headunit/flash it.

Ok well I bought one online at ebay for about $125 shipped. Got the VIN# and once received I'll proceed with the install.

Easy peesy?
Disconnect the battery, tear apart the interior, disconnect the old and in with the new. Anything special I should know or is it straight forward? No special tools or anything?
