factroy tape deck on LOC
I unhooked my battery and when I hooked it back up the tape deck says LOC on the display and wont come on. It is a 89 GTA, did they have an anti theft system and how do I get it to work again.

yep, that's a security feature. there is a code you have to put in to un-loc it. if you didn't buy the car new, you would probably have to trace the previous owner(s) for it, cuz i think GM charges a hefty fee to un-loc it for you. if you have any paperwork for the car, if you find a sticker with a 4-digit number somewhere, that is probably it.

Question #10 - "Can you help me? My radio is showing LOC'D on the display, and I can't get it going again........."
Aren't theft deterrent systems wonderful? This problem means that power to the radio has been interrupted, and the Delco-Loc theft system has kicked in to safeguard the radio. Simply push the "MUTE" button on the steering wheel and the display will return to the clock feature and power to the unit will be restored.
This feature prevents the radio from being stolen and then installed in another car. The steering wheel controls are all that can reactivate the radio after power to it has been interrupted. Otherwise, it is one stylish-looking lump of unusable electronic equipment.
