Default salvaged radio

I have a 1999 9-3 convertable, and my radio is not working properly. I found a radio on ebay, real cheap, the only problem is that it has been pullled from another car, same year, make and model. I called the dealer to find out how difficult it would be to get the security code, from the vin# that comes with the radio, and they told me the radio has to be "unmarried" from the car by a computer, and then take it to the dealer to be installed and "married" to my car. Is this true or just a way for the dealer to make money?

if the radio was not "divorsed" from the original car it bbecomes a useless piece of junk. I promise that it will be unusable. The radio has to be divorsed from a ar using a Tech2
