EastSideJojo,

Sorry to hear about your radio being stolen. On the 2006 Cobolt, the radio should not be tied to the vehicle's immobilizer system unless some aftermarket modifications were done. There is an issue with that car that won't allow it to crank if the shifter isn't all the way in "park". Try to push the shifter into park and see if it will let you start. Please post a clarification with your results. If it turns out that the shifter is causing the problems, then take it to the dealer and demand for them to fix it.

my mom had the same problem with her anti-theft system all you need to do is put the key into the ignition turn on then off leave the key in the ignition for 10 min. then that will reset your anti-theft system and your car will start.
