Was it an option in '85? The other night I had my door panel off fixing the power door lock and I looked up inside towards the keylock and it looked like a couple of wires coming from it. Anyone know what these are for? I also had the info panel off and one of the windows said 'Security' on it.

VATS not an option in 85
VATS first appeard in 86, the 85 cars had an alarm which is carried over in the 86 and later cars, but it is really a separate animal from the VATS system which just disables the starter and fuel delivery if the wrong key is used in the ignition. VATS does not sound any alarms.

The alarm in the mid 80's Vette's are notorious for failing. Their failure rates are extremely high. If you don't care too much about keeping it stock, forget about it and put in a new alarm system.
