2007 to 2011 GMLAN Radios

This is just a demonstration video on how to power a GMLAN Stereo outside of the car with out a lot of work or effort.
As far as I can all, if the car the radio was originally removed from was never optioned with a NAV System on any package level, the radio is likely only 11Bit. The 29Bit system seems to be present in cars that used a NAV system.
The adapter is a PAC LAN11ON. Search for it on ebay. They can be had most any day for $50 to $60.

Great Video. If installing into a vehicle, you can replace the switch with a relay connected to the ignition on/off wiring. it makes the install clean, maintains the vehicles interior, and gives you that factory install experience.

The radio lock occurs when the GMLAN in the car sends the VIN from the BCM. The PAC module doesn't do this, which is it works. But great video to show other people how to do it.

[@daveh2612]

Very useful info - had no idea PAC made a bench test adapter. I've been through the 11-bit vs 29-bit struggles myself. Thanks for making this video!

[@KarlYamashita]

I developed that PAC interface years ago. I just emulate the BCM 11bit/29bit messages when the key is on. I also don't send a VIN# so that is why the radio does not VIN lock.

[@TheFuz1zy]

SO HOW DO U DO IT email me

[@clutchSA]

@@TheFuz1zy A lot of BS here, Just a troll

[@becoblaster4980]

I think you should show how to wired those power cables cus that's what people Wan to see , how you can make it work in your car

[@sizzlin321]

I found out how to disable the theftlock on a 29-bit version of these radios. It requires some fine soldering skills but it works.

[@techpros101ify]

Hey, can you please tell me how you soldered it? i have a radio out of an 09 impala i bought at the scrappy and i cant figore out how to bypass the lock. I can get power to the radio but it doesnt turn on. only thing i can see is the time when i press the "i" button and no CD when i hit edject. Thanks so much!

[@mikebellerose4473]

Yo hit me up i bought a 07 cpbalt and the stereo shows "loc"

[@sizzlin321]

You have to replace the EEPROM in the radio with a blank one.

[@sizzlin321]

I just ordered a LAN11ON interface, I plan on stuffing a radio from a 2009.5 Pontiac G6 into a '98 Bonneville.

[@Peter_Yachymczyk]

What are the part number(s) of the Saturn radios that don't even use the GMLAN? I can get a Saturn Vue radio part #25994574 cheap for like $15 at a junk yard. Also I see the GMLAN adapters are no where to be found anywhere now. I love these radio with the bright VFD and RDS (for the non base version) display.

[@94cobraman]

use a relay instead of the switch and use an ignition switched lead to activate the relay on the lan 11 easy enough

[@kellyyork3752]

You show the switched power. But I can not see which wires your terminating the switch to?

[@luhsteve2588]

I have a 06 chevy impala radio and I have the same problem is there a way to bypass the Digital on switch or I need to have that box

[@moneyholic20]

whats the difference between the 11 bit and 29 bit radios and how can u tell which is which? just got a radio out of an 07 chevy impala trying to make it work in my older gm car

[@fishjunkie249]

Any ideas how to to unlock these my car battery died and the radio been locked every since there is literally no videos on these silver ones only the black ones

[@davidduke7531]

I have 06 hhr radio that died all if a sudden. Have power and ground. Not even the clock shows up. Is there anything else I can test for, or is this radio done for? Thanks for any info you can provide.

[@mariosstealth]

oky so I got question I got a radio Panasonic just like so on your video. it's black out of a 06 saturn vue. I still need that lan11on to make it work right? I saw your post on saturn fan. but I would like to see a wite up on it that way I can do that to my 02 saturn sl1.

[@Phenx]

It was discontinued, sadly. I need something like this. Do anyone know another company that manufacture anything like this? I thought using arduino + a CAN shield but I dont have any access to 29 bit CAN GM cars to sniff the can..

[@justinworkman5398]

I have one like that but the exhaust fan is in the opposite corner. It is delphi part no 28076188/GM part no 25782841 says it was manufactured 01/19/2007 How do I tell if it is 11-bit or 29-bit?

[@Kpax2]

if I got a unlocked 2006,2007 Saturn Vue or Ion radio, could I put it in any other vehicle that can fit a double din stereo? I want to put it in my 2004 Silverado

[@LisaBryan-i6d]

I have a 2008 chevy Equinox that I can not get the XM RADIO feature to work I press the cat and it says xm feature but I called to get my sirius transferred to thge 2008 from a 2015 and they asked for a radio id on the 2008 but I cant get to the channel 0

[@COMMANDPAD]

Hey man I have too radios like that A 05 cobalt and 08 impala radios. I took a EEPROM chip from the 05 radio but now I'm having problem powering the dang ting up plus the harness don't have the topical orange wire. what should I do?

[@blueboy7777777777777]

Any idea how to disable the factory warning chimes from the LF speaker? 2007-2013 Silverado.

[@natashacobbett9737]

I got my ac compressor change in my 06 ion and my radio doesn't power up. can you tell me what's the problem.

[@clutchSA]

I can't find anywhere to buy it.

[@buster2725]

tell me about the Saturn ion unit how to put into a 08 gmc sierra 1500 with no frills i got just 2 male plugs coming out from hole in dash no radio no wires just the 2 plugs what do i need?can somebody help me?

[@Flipping_Assets]

Isn't this a delph delco radio?

[@patrickgore8107]

gmc part number 25974801 do i need the lan11on or lan29on ? This radio alo has a strange ant connector on it

[@6victoria589]

help guitme your diagram for the inlation please i need it

[@WilliamsportWeatherman]

Is there an adapter like this for the older RDS radios? Or even the Delco theftlocks?

[@chaingun87]

if you can get the original BCM yeah, otherwise you can cut pin 8 of the EEPROM and it'll just show CALERROR when it starts up, and always show a tape icon

[@JoseMartinez-zc5md]

I have a GM radio out of a 2006 Chevrolet Impala but the pac lan 11 does not work on it. Is the LAN 11 correct for my radio?

[@BruisersBeaters]

No. You need the LAN29ON adapter. There are two. Lan 11 and Lan 29. They do not work with each other.

[@cardozita2cool]

It has to be a Delphi Radio made in mexico if matsushita 10 made in China that don't work I had one of those adapters and only works in a Delphi and works fine in my 03 venture mini van

[@ev2859]

So I bought a 2006 Saturn Vue radio, and it works without programming. Just provide +12v power, 12v ign, and gnd. Then hook up speakers.

[@buzzcity01]

I am looking at buying a 2010 Malibu 2LT, which unfortunately does not come with the USB port like the LTZ models do. Is there a simple connector that plugs into the back of the radio you're showing here which would allow me to play music from a USB memory stick that I could just run into the glove box to keep it hidden? OR where could I find a used LTZ radio that already has the built in USB port? Thanks

[@sizzlin321]

I do have another question, How do you turn on the backlighting on these radios? Is it a 12 volt signal or is it controlled thru GMLAN?

[@BruisersBeaters]

+sizzlin321 You don't, as far as I can tell. The lights turn on though a signal in the cars LAN network. The PAC gizmo only tells the radio to turn on. All the other features of these radios are lost without the LAN network.

[@sizzlin321]

+Pan Gramercy Thanks! Looks like i'll have to tap into the actual backlight itself to get it to work.

[@BruisersBeaters]

They're LED I believe, so it would not be hard to tap. Low votage I imagine though.

[@sizzlin321]

+Pan Gramercy yeah, the illumination operates off 5 volts. One 7805 and some soldering later, got illumination.

[@jchevy33]

​@@sizzlin321 Im going through the GMLAN learning experience now, i can see the radio has a 12v input for park lamp supply voltage, but cant find a terminal that needs a 5v supply for the back light, Can you tell me where you connected the 7805 ? thanks

[@G2675-v7m]

Tengo un autoestereo parecido de un pontiac g5 2009, como lo ago prender en casa? Por favor algun diagrama

[@Ariaangelss]

how do you unlock this radio once its in the vehicle?

[@alexcuellar738]

terrysbuggy have you found out i have same problem

[@_starboy9317]

You can either unlock it with a Tech II scanner, or if you know how to solder, you can replace an EEPROM.

[@tejasfelix5577]

+_Starboy got the same thing going on.. just randomly locked out?? anyone else have a clue besides taking it to the stealer ship. . ?

[@_starboy9317]

If you know how to solder, you can replace the EEPROM chip inside the radio with a blank one. The radio will re-learn the VIN number from your vehicle.

[@jamestarletsky5626]

_Starboy which chip is the eerprom?

[@williamalexander9877]

Do you think that this radio would fit and work in a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix

[@zalonnitezz8881]

Billy William that's what I would like to know

[@LifeWideOpen780]

on my 2012 tahoe i changed battery now radio wont turn on. just shows clock. how do i fix?

[@skylermason4264]

08 Yukon same issue

[@lucycarmona8640]

thank u

[@fortinogarcia7814]

so do i need to buy that adapter to put it on my 2007 avalanche?

[@TheChalubi]

I tried two radios and just wont work! Please help. One display "no vin"

[@phillippope9418]

Just cycle the key The no Vin will go away

[@josesigala9761]

Alguien que me pueda decir como desbloquear el stero de un impala chev 2006.?gracias

[@lucycarmona8640]

i have a 2008 saturn aura xe radio thats locked what do i need to do

[@BruisersBeaters]

You need to find a Chevy or GM dealer with a good reputation and good reviews and ask them to simply go in and unlock your radio. These cannot be unlocked by the user. Expect to be charged around 50 dollars. If they quote you any more you call BS on them.

[@probodyb]

So just need that PAC ?

[@probodyb]

And any GM radio will work?

[@MMGJ10]

Mine is "LOC"ed after a battery change on an 07 gmc Sierra. .. how the bloody hell do I unlock it? Ahh!!!

[@d.j.9961]

There are videos on how to unlock the radio available on youtube. I looked it up once & wrote it down. It may have been within a 07 pontiac G5 radio loc video. Here are the instructions!!!! Get a pen & paper to write down the numbers the radio will display! Start vehicle, turn radio on, press & hold #2 & #3 presets at the same time & hold, until a 3- digit CODE APPEARS & WRITE IT DOWN! THEN, Press the Am& Fm button & get a second 3- digit code! Write it down! Then, CAll Chevrolet radio phone code @ 1 800 537 5140. ENTER 106010 FOLLOWED BY THE # SIMBLE. FOLLOWED BY THE 6 DIGIT CODE THAT YOUR RADIO DISPLAYED FOLLOWED BY STAR *️⃣ key YOU WILL BE GIVEN 4 digit code, WRITE IT DOWN!!! USING THE MINUTE & HOUR BUTTON, enter the 4 digit code then press am/fm to unlock radio. DONE!!! Basically, When gm gives you the code, press & hold the HOUR button until your first 2 numbers appear. Then, press & hold the Minute button to get the last 2 digit code to appear then, press am/fm to unlock. Try that & see if it works.... I explained it twice because, that is how it was written in the article of which I copied it from... HOPE IT WORKS 4 YA. IF NOT, LOOK IT UP ON KZbin.

[@josiah032610]

i have a 2009 gmlan radio and it says its locked... Please Help....

[@BruisersBeaters]

The radio will lock if it's from another car. Sometimes they go haywire and lock, as well. It's a defect with certain ones.

[@alexcuellar738]

Pan Gramercy so it cant be unlocked ??

[@stephaneroy4169]

Jose

[@ez439]

Just disconnect battery then reconnect wa la

[@fredmax2541]

I would like to see what is in the magic box, i would bet that it is not much. It is just plum silly the way thing have become these days.

[@BruisersBeaters]

I should make a video about it. The PAC adapters are actually pretty sophisticated. There is a lot going on inside the little box.

[@luisbud5356]

I bought a similar radio for 5.00 dlls in the junk yard

[@Alexscott100]

so for example would a radio out of the 2007 Saturn ion work in a 2007 Chevy hhr

[@BruisersBeaters]

+2003SaturnFan It would. You would need to add in a 12V+ ACC wire though that activates when you turn the key to run though. The plugs and everything else is the same. I can't promise all features will work though, such as features specific to the Chevy. It'll be a radio though, and play music.

[@Alexscott100]

+Pan Gramercy all it needs to do is play radio/cd/aux nothing more

[@Alexscott100]

+Pan Gramercy so in other words it wouldn't be just plug and play

[@Alexscott100]

+Pan Gramercy so would i be able to plug and play another lan11 radio in another GM car. So for example could I pull the radio from a 2008 Buick LaCrosse and put it into a Chevy HHR without any programming or mods

[@BruisersBeaters]

In that case no. The radio will have the Buicks VIN stored in it, and as soon as it compares with the BCM in the HHR, the radio will lock until you take it to the dealer for proper activation. The Saturn radio works because it's not a LAN11 radio, Saturn was going out by then so they never invested in adding the LAN network to any Saturn, so the radio was just made special for the Saturn line to work with a 12V+ ACC instead of a digital "On" Signal. Same radio, just different means of turning on.

[@samiabueid6876]

How i can know it's 11 or 29 bit Can you help Regards

[@BruisersBeaters]

Lower end cars are typically 11 bit, such as the Cobalt, HHR, and such, higher end cars, like the SUV's are 29 bit. After 2010 I think almost all are 29 bit at that point

[@samiabueid6876]

Thank you first But the problem is I get this radio from the junk yard and i don't have any idea from what car or what year??? They get it for me to use it in my off-road pajero If i send you a picture for it can that help ??? And thanks alot

[@samiabueid6876]

???????

[@carlosmerelles6890]

mine is looked

[@derekhauschultz1277]

Hey buddy I know you mean well but damn show us main power color and ground and the good stuff... stop talking

[@BruisersBeaters]

This was just me screwing around several years ago with an iPhone4. Hence the terrible quality. I still have the adapter, and the radio. I may make a better quality video down the road. I just don't have time for KZbin and health problems.

[@natashacobbett9737]

I got my ac compressor change in my 06 ion and my radio doesn't power up. can you tell me what's the problem.
