You will have to contact a dealer and get the codes and unlock procedures. It's an anti-theft application to keep someone from stealing and reinstalling your sound system.
You can steal it but it won't work until you unlock the anti-theft. The dealership will probably not give the information over the phone so an appointment might be necessary. You may get lucky and just talk to a service manager or if you know someone in the business. Good luck hope this helps you out.

SOURCE: My mom has a 99

There is a lock on the radio in case it was stolen. A code needs to be entered. I'm afraid I don't remember the procedure for your radio but am going to guess that if you looked in the glove box through the paperwork for the car like the owners manual, you will find the code in there most likely written down. I do hope there are some instructions with it for your sake on the process of how to enter it. I wish i could help you more as far as how to enter it but at least you know the radio isn't broke and this is all it is. Good luck.

2002 Chevy Malibu (Radio fuse)

There is a panel on the passengers side of the car, I pulled the fuse used for OnStar because I dont use it. I didn see any labling on mine but it was the fuse located second from the top on the left side, but you have to be looking at it side ways because of the way the fuse box is orientated.
And then put it in the socket all the way to the right second from the bottom, again looking at it sideways. NOTE: My car is a 2006 Malibu LT
