There should be a way to fix it. I had the light behind one of the buttons on my 01 WS.6 steering wheel go out, and the warranty replaced the button. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I like the SCV feature too. I had a 97 Anniv Z with it. Too bad they don't put it on the T/A's.

If you want to keep the stock deck, you should be able to find a used one looking around the classifieds of this site, ls1.com, camaroz28.com, camarov6.com, fbodyaudio.com or any of the other fbody sites. I'm sure someone would sell their old stock deck to you for 30-50 bucks.

You can move up to aftermarket and gain some better sound/performance from the deck. A new stock deck from GM is something like $400.
