Default XM receiver Theftlock

XM receiver Theftlock

I have a 2008 Tahoe with Nav and XM. I would like to get XM Navtraffic. I got a salvage 2009 Tahoe Xm receiver. I installed it and I get AM, FM and Onstar they all work. On XM I get Theftlock. I went to a dealer and the Tec did not know how to
re-learn VIN to DRR using tec 2 tool.

First of all, wrong spot to be posting, that is why you haven't gotten a reply

second of all, you cannot swap xm recievers from one vehicle to another. When it is plugged in, the VIN is married to the xm module and cannot be divorced.
You must buy a new reciever if you want it to work

Hey Shawn,

I tried ordering this part from GM and they have it on a "restricted" list. Any ideas how I can get one? I want to add the Nav Traffic to my 2009. The part # is 15945676

tell them you are paying cash money for it and they should jump at it.
It is only a restricted part if they are replacing it under warranty
