Not sure about the aftermarket radio but if you try to add a GM radio the security system will assume it to be stolen and lock it out. A dealer has to clear some codes with a Tech II tool.

I have the stock radio in there now. It has the red light flashing when the power is off.
So is it ok to disconnect the plugs from the back of the radio?
I'm going to disconnect the battery...I just wanted to understand what the red light is telling me. I can't find anything in the owners manual about it.
Thank you D Vader...

Exactly where is this red light? I've removed radios from other GM cars with no problems. Never saw any red lights. I had an '04 CTS and it had a power cable, antenna and a cluster connector. All you needed was a screw driver(phillips) and a small blade putty knife to remove the panels. I replaced my radio with a NAV system radio. It immediately locked it as stolen. A quick trip to my GM dealer and they unlocked it for me.

I think the red light you are referring to is a anti theft deterrant, it doesn't do anything other than make a thief think that your car has an alarm system.
