Here on this forum. Just type in 2004 Chevy Aveo radio codes and you will find a thread with some codes. I found out my problem with the radio going on with the door open had to do with a loose wire in the door. took off door found the wire and fixed it and all better. And I love my new stereo. Got the Sony with the Bluetooth. Music sounds great and so does the telephone conversation. Cool huh?

Never go to the dealer for anything....they will rape you financially every chance they get.

Unless you're under warranty. But... for something as simple as unlocking your radio?

They've done numerous things for free that Mazda dealer wanted to charge me 75-150 bucks for:

-Re-program extra keys/remotes
-re-set my TPMS sensors
-etc...

GM is a lot more customer friendly than many other foreign car makers IMO.

Ah yes! you are correct. If your car is still under warranty then it is ok to go to the dealer for help. But once that warranty is over they will try to take advantage of you and I am speaking from experience.

I remember my thermostat housing broke off and it was originally made of plastic. At the time I really didnt know anything about working on cars so I took it to the dealer. $100 later they replaced the thermostat housing and it was made of alloy. I dont know why the hell the original part wasnt made of alloy to begin with.
