BOSE Factory Back Up Code

[Johndmartin]

I've neglected my '90 for quite some time and finally decided to sell. While checking several problems, I tried the Bose system and got nothing. Of course I've replaced a few batteries in the last 10 years but forgot about unlocking the radio. Frankly I've always preferred to listen to the engine versus the radio. Anyway, I've searched everywhere but can't find where I hid the code. I entered my limit of guesses with no success and finally pulled up the code of last resort and called the local Chev dealer for the Dial Delco number. All I got from him was a long lecture about not losing the code and why I could not be given the factory back up code. I find it difficult to believe that I can't transmit some form of proof of ownership for the code versus driving 40 miles to the dealer. Is the dealer being truthful or just trying to get in my checkbook? He is the same one who wanted $1400 to replace my fuel pumps which I accomplished for $131.
