This may be the best you can do.

I don't know how much they charge. I don't know how much you dealer charges to do the numbers retrieval.

It may be worth it to have a dealer do it in the end. You might dealer shop around. Or find an independent who
can access the codes.

Is yours an RDS radio, this may be applicable

Any technician that has the GM TechII scan tool can unlock the radio, so you don't have to go to the dealer, just find an independent that has the tool.
