Blinking Red Light
Got my C6 last week (Auto, DSOM, Z51, 1SB) last week. Love it! Being a Vette rookie, however, I have a (probably) dumb question. The little blinking red light upper left side of radio ***** -- What is it? Is this a security system indicator? Can it be turned off in situtations when unnecessary? Will it wear battery down eventually? Owner's Manual has no reference to this little blinking red light, at least I couldn't find one. Help, kind citizens of the Forum. Thanks.

I am pretty sure that the blinking red light indicates that TheftLock has been activated. If the radio is stolen it will not work in any other vehicle.
It will not run down the battery any quicker than all sorts of other things will.

Yes, that's what I was told when I asked. It doesn't seem to use enough juice to run the battery down.

Hey you've got my car!! (cashmere interior I bet) I am glad you asked about that little light. I too was curious-no reference made to it anywhere. And I've seen no mention of any "code". Would hate to have to take it the dealer if the battery is disconnected for some reason...enjoy the car!!
