Shawn,
As I recall that can bae defeated. I defeated it on an '87 - Id on't know
if it applies here.
As the radio fits into it'smount it interfaces witha switch on the side
of the radio with a switch on the mount sleeve. If you wre going to steal
this radio when you remove it from the sleeve it actuates the sleeve
switch on the radio. Now as I recall I either permanently forced the
switch in or disconnected it. Either way it defeated the lockout.
Hope this helps.
Ciao,
Paolo
