If it's anything like the radios over here in the UK, it may have an anti-theft feature which requires you to enter a code after it has been disconnected from a constant live source, for example a flat or replaced battery. If this is the case, you should be able to take it to a GM / Pontiac dealer and get it de-coded.

I had the same problem. Push the mute button on the steering wheel controls and it will unlock.

What if you put this '89 radio which was in a car with steering wheel controls is put in a earlier model car without steering wheel controls ? Any way to unlock the radio then ? Thanks,

Bill E.
