Radio dead
Radio dead
So I went away for a couple of weeks and came home and the Radio is completely dead. It is a 2012, and i have no display, no hazard lights or heater controls. I checked all the fuses, front, under dash and above the battery and they all are ok. I had a spare radio i got from Australia and if i plug this in it works (well the display says it is in security lockout)
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there something in the radio that fails? an internal fuse or link?
If this radio cant be fixed what do i need to do to program the other radio with my vin? Is this something i can do or do i need to send it out?

Re: Radio dead
If its the same thing that happened to me (think it sounds like it), (un)fortunately it just ended up fixing itself. I went out on lunch, nothing. Left at end of the day, back in business. I think there was a thread here with some similar experiences. Sorry no better news, man.

Re: Radio dead
I have been driving it for two weeks now (except today as it was too cold) nothing at all in that time so i am not holding my breath it will come back. Tried a few power cycles (disconnect battery for 30 minutes) but that did not help. I figure it is past fixing.
I suppose i will take it to chevy and get screwed with reprogramming costs.

Re: Radio dead
Definitely get in touch with Chris White. He can probably reprogram it better than any dealer. They would likely screw it up.
