Well, went to my local circuit city to have IPOD installed. (Got tired of waiting on other place) The above mentioned said they have worked on corvettes before.
I drop it off at 4:30, & after watching a movie their 2 times, they tell me radio says, ERR & keeps poping Cd out. I think they activated the anti-theft.......
I am now radio-less, anyone know what is going on & how to fix radio.

Heres a link to the TECH TIP for un-locking the C5 radio. I dont think thats your issue though!

I agree with Bill. I installed my own adapter with no issues.

The radio is not locked.

ERR is a CD-specific error. There's a table of conditions that cause
ERR in the the owner's manual, but it is possible that the problem
will go away on its own.

If you press the RECALL button, you should be able to get AM/FM
operation back. If the problem is temporary, CD operation may
simply return on its own. If after several days inserting a CD still
says ERR, then it is possible that the CD player is toast. You
might try a cleaning disk, but it could be more serious (like the
tracking motor is roasted).
