Default Radio LED? Should it be blinking?

I didn't notice what appears to be an LED until today.

Is it suppose to be blinking when the car is off?

Hopefully you have the 4 digit code if it is blinking. If you lose battery power, your radio will become inoperative without the code.

Thanks.

I went with a dummy proof 3 digit code. I wrote it down in my printed version of the owners manual.

I'm not concerned about the stereo itself. The blinking LED is a simple visual deterrent that might sway thieves.

I know it's not a full blown alarm system like I have on my other vehicles, but it will suffice for now.
