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 at-home workaround that has been posted in similar threads is for *older* radios (entering codes for the Theft-Loc system in C5 and prior), and will NOT work on a C6 radio.
