TEMPORARY BYPASS INSTRUCTIONS
You can temp bypass this for testing purposes by turning off the truck, then put the key in the ACC position, and pull the
radio fuse for 5 seconds (with the key still in ACC position). Then put the fuse back in and the radio will have full functionality until you
turn the key off or try to start the truck. If you do either of those, the radio will lock up again. Alternatively you can simply unplug the large 24-pin radio connector for 5 seconds instead of pulling the fuse.

The radios are VIN coded to each vehicle, you must have the dealer or someone with a Tech 2 unlock it.
