request info about 2001+ THEFTLOCK by blk97aurora

Can someone tell me which type of THEFTLOCK was used in 2001+ Auroras?
 
Classics have the type that uses a 3-1/2 digit code that can be used to secure the radio. I suspect the newer ones use the type that is specific to the vehicle's VIN. Can anyone verify or not?
 
The reason for my question is that I want to install a 2001+ Aurora radio in my 1997. There's a high probability that this swap will not work, but I'm going to give it a try. My reason for wanting the newer radio is the RDS (radio data service) feature. I have looked into after-market units, but none that I have found will maintain functionality of the steering wheel controls without a clunky add-on that works through the after-market unit's remote control port.

There is no code anymore. The radio gets some sort of key or something from the body control unit. So the radio won't work in another car. I'm sure the dealer has a way to reset/reprogram this, though. But there is no driver involvement needed (thankfully).

I just acquired a 1996 Black Aurora with 210,000kms for almost nothing. It was my wife's bosses car and he wanted to get rid of it.
I love it, and am really looking forward to fixing it up over the winter.
I plan on doing the K&N Airbox mods right away. Thanks for posting the instructions.
However, I've already replaced the plugs, and stupidly bought the most expensive ones I could (Bosch Platinum 4s) before I read in this forum that you recommend staying with Delco. I'm getting some hesitation when I accelerate now. Should I switch the plugs back to new Delcos?
Any help will be appreciated.
Cheers

Yes, get those Boschs out asap and put in ac delco. Did you also use ac delco wires? Too many people have tried other plugs and wires besides delco and have not had much luck.

Try www.muthco.com. They do not make the lighted turn signal mirrors for our cars, but I believe they sell universal stick ons.
 
I bought a pair (not Muth) on eBay, but have not installed them yet.

Thanks, I know about the stick-ons I don't like them at all. They take away the full view of the mirrior

New Computer? by anthraxfan93

I have a 99 That I have a couple of problems with,
Is there a Way to override the Governor, such as a new computer? once this is done does anyone know the top speed of these things?
 
Also I read all these posts about Corsa Exhuast yet when I hit their website I see nothing about Olds, where can I get my hands on this?
 
Also do you have to do the K&N airbox yourself or is it sold as a kit?
 
Thanks
Mark
