i will be putting in a 6 disk radio into my truck this week and i am just wondering what will need to be done is it a plug and play type of thing or do i have to reprogram the BCM

Thanks
Jared

The radio will be LOCKED most likely and will have to be unlocked by a TECHII. I do think they will have to program the radio for a standard sound if you dont have the Bose and the radio came from a Bose truck.

Simple reprogram at the dealer. Be prepared...they usually hit you up for an hour shop time (for a 15 minute job).

no dice on efi bcm controls or tech2 only. if you have a friend who is a tech just bring him lunch on his lunch break and he can unlock the radio while he eats and still have time left to shoot the breeze.

there is no way this can be done with EFI correct?

I just did mine today at the dealer. I had access to a techII and did my tire pressure but no luck with the radio. To do the radio you need the techII along with TIS. Thanks to Tom (Bac) for guiding me in the right direction.
