Default Navigation unlock

I have a 2011 ZR1 that came with OnStar and Xm radio.
I would like to swap the radio for a Navigation unit but remain with the stock Denso style corvette navigation unit.
I purchased a Denso unit that came from a 2008 ZO6 and it worked when I fist plugged it in but after unplugging it the "Theft Lock" appeared on the screen.
I tried looking on ebay for unlock services and checked with a couple Chevy dealers but have not found anyone that says they can unlock it.
Anyone done this?

The dealer can do that for you (been there done that) but they MAY ask for a receipt for the 2008 radio. Cost???

That process for C5 and older radios.

C6 radio security system is completely different, and requires a TECH2 as has been stated in other threads.
