I have a 2005 Chevy Colorado and I just pulled a radio out of a gmc envoy today and after seeing your video I took the cover off of it and took that chip out. It worked so thank you for that.

Thanks for the info. I removed the chip and as others have stated it wouldn't hold the memory settings. So I took it one step further and removed the chip from the original radio and soldered it into the new one, and now everything works as it should. (Even had all my preset from the original radio)

so you put your old EPROM chip into your new RDS radio and it worked? so your cars VIN was stored on that chip and is recognized by your car? dude. i want to try this because i fucked my old radio up and dont want to have to buy a new radio AND take it to get fucked in the ass by the dealership. haha. i can solder the old to the new but just want to know it is worth it.

If you want it to function without errors you need eprom programmer and erase eprom. When the blank eprom is learned with key on it will be reprogrammed by the can bus for that vin. If you change radios in different car you will have to erase eprom and when key is on it learns new vin. Only blank or erased eprom can be learned this way.

What a simple fix. I pulled a radio out of a 2004 Suburban and put it in my 2004 GMC Sierra. Take the chrome side plate off the radio. Turn it over and use a screwdriver to pop off the edges of the cover. The correct side is the one without the CD player. You don't have to take the CD player out because the resistor is on the other side of the radio. The small black resistor is next to two orange resistors. I gently pulled of the black resistor, installed the radio then and I held down on the power button for a few seconds until the radio came on.

This process worked. The board looked different on my radio but it still worked. I removed the chip with the numbers "9355093" on it. Cons: radio does not hold the programmed stations. When vehicle is turned back on, radio defaults to preset fm station. So far it's not an issue but have to select which CD to play after each vehicle start-up.

This is an Eprom chip. Electronic erasable programmable chip. By removing this, you can't store your stations, best bet is to resolver it, order a new one p/n AT24c08A in SOIC package (style) digikey. Can be remove by using an exact knife under each leg, apply slight up pressure and touch with a fine tip soldering iron, 25 watt as solder melts loose. Each leg will pop up. Remove chip, install new blank chip by placing squarely above the boards soldering tabs, in the correct orientation! Then touch each leg with the tip of the soldering iron. If done right, each leg will resolder back on with no need to add solder. Now you plug in your radio and your car's computer will see it blank and program your vehicles vin number and it will work correctly. This chip costs less than $4. Or buy a fancy eeprom reader writer.

Hey Peter: Great advice! I have 2008 Saturn Outlook and replaced the oem radio with another oem Saturn radio, #25827115. I get locked. I removed the Eprom chip #24C256N and now get the "No Vin" indicator on the radio as you mentioned above. I am trying to locate the AT24c08A in SOIC package you mentioned above. It appears to be obsolete on digikey and I could not locate one elsewhere. Any help here? Do you have an alternate source or alternate part number I can buy? Also, when the new chip is plugged in, I believe you are saying the computer in the car will reprogram the new chip on its' own. Correct? Thanks so much for you help!

Same chip number on a 2004 cavalier stock radio, has it removed but it still isn't working (now displays Err and stills not turn on or either setting the clock). Previously had tried lv2 scanner and it shows eeprom error, tried to reset it and reconfigure, but everytime had the same error. Maybe the radio was already damaged and the final destination to be an useless thing was to remove eeprom chip. Anyway thanks for your video!
