Default Putting factory radio back in....

Hello, I am taking out my aftermarket radio and putting my factory radio back in the car. Will the stock radio have to be reprogrammed to work? Or will it work with no programming needed?

From my experience, odds are it will go right back in with no issues. Since it was last programmed for your car, it should be fine.

Depends on the year really.. 03+ I believe had VINs programmed in whereas 00-02 had safelock which just locked it, it's really easy to unlock if you look online.
