Question
my 2005 chevy impala says lock on my radio how can i get it off can enany one help me
It is probably an anti-theft lock out. This is a code that is required in order to activate the radio again and is caused whenever the power is removed from the radio. You can get the code from a GM dealer or whomever they have designated to give out the codes but you will probably be required to show proof of ownership of the car.
There are some companies claim they can give you the code - for a fee - such as the one below:

You can google for others.
Wishing you success.

Audio Design Engineer; systems, loudspeakers, cd/dvd players, etc. I am knowledgeable in all high end audio equipment and installations. MAKE SURE YOU GIVE A MAKE AND MODEL NUMBER AND CAR IF IT IS AN AUTO QUESTION. Note: I am getting some who ask good questions that take a lot of time to research but then the questioner fails to read the answer. Please don't ask questions unless you are seriously looking for an answer. If you find an answer to your question otherwise then let me know with your reply. Thank you.
