c5 radio advice

Post by thefrenchconnection »

my 2001 c5 kept ejecting cds and wouldnt play them so i took the radio to bits and noticed one of the wires on the circuit board inside the radio was broken off,so i went to the scrapyard and got another radio thought i plug it in and try it works great except for the beeping i know each radio is coded to the car so i was wondering if i swapped the broken circuit board from the old radio with the one i bought from the scrap yard and put the old radio back together would this bypass the anti theft on the radio?

The easiest way to overcome the beeping is by programming the new radio to your car's VIN by using Lexia ... that is, if you have a Lexia nearby ...

Why not use the new radio as a guide to where the wire should go, and repair your old one?
