QuestionChevy Impala 2000 with passlock 2
I HATE this anti-theft system.. it protects cars from their owners. A real theif could steal it..
I need help. Is anyone out there that can help? My poor daughetr got this car for her birthday from my ex husband her dad.. I gave a friend the directions to put a cd changer in it. Well he detered from the directions and cause the ignition to lock up.. Now I need to know how to unlock it or how I can maybe bypass the passlock 2 sysytem so that the ignition will unlock... I would like to completly disarm passlock 2 for good...Please can anyone help.. you would be our hero... We dont have the hundreds of Dollars GM would want to take us for on this... Thanks in advanced , Lisa..... my email is Missourihoney@msn.com
"By it being locked up, I mean the key will not turn in the ignition at all.. the lights will come on the door chimes ding.. the key will not turn..I have been reading on it that the passlock 2 thinks the car is being stolen so the igniton locks up so you can't start it...I have tried cleaning the key off... I checked the fuses.. everything.. they unplugged the radio and then plugged it back in... somewhere somehow they triggered the VATS GM passlock 2 on my 2000 impala... I had someone tell me that GM has to reset the ignition and key code now..but it sesm to me there has to be another way.. can you imagine if I was on the side of the road somewhere and a wire or something came loose and set it off? I would be lost.. I even called Chevy road side assistants and they told all they could do was help me with a tow.. please pleae I hope someone can find a better answer I dont have the $200 to $500 to have it reset.. I read something about maginets being in the lock tumbler and that the passlock 2 will cause the to lock it all up ..
I hope you can help! thank you so much for answering my post! :)
AnswerUnfortunately your FRIEND who ALTERED the radio installation system procedure activated the anti-theft system. Some friend.
Yes there is a way to by-pass and disable the anti-theft system but it is illegal and immoral for me to provide you with this information.
Unfortunately you have no choice but to have the dealership make the CORRECT APPROPRIATE procedures to repair and restore your theft system.
PLEASE excuse my bluntness, But was NOT paying a radio repair/installation facility possibly less than $100.00 to properly and professionally install the radio system worth it ?.
I really feel sorry that you got yourself into this mess, But there is nothing I can do to help you.
