If you activate that feature again, be sure to write down your code somewhere, or pick one that you'll easily remember.

As a side note, I keep it activated just for flashing LED on the radio face.
It gives the appearance of the car being alarmed, to those with curious eyes.

You are correct. I just figured that someone who was satisfied to stay stock, probably didn't want $450 in a bezel and $800 in a head unit. These I linked will go in the car with no modification (in spite of it saying modified fit on the site).

And if you already have a Vette, what in gawds name would possess a person to want one of these in the car, especially a used one.

For $129 at Crutchfield, you can replace that delco pos with a real honest to goodness head unit. I'd do that before typing in the 3 digit code.
