The document introduces the CertaPart Start tool, which removes a vehicle identification number (VIN) from car radios' memories in 2 minutes, unlocking radios for reuse. It benefits automotive shops by allowing use of recycled radios instead of new ones, reducing returns and trips to dealerships. The compact, easy-to-use tool works on most General Motors radios from 2005-2011 and could save shops money on radio costs and technician time.
