Scorche GM module with chime?

I have a simmilar problem with mine and I'm planning to replace it.
Basically, if the battery voltage drop too much while cranking the module crash! And then the radio don't turn on. To turn it back on I have to stop the engine and start it again. Unless it's extremelly cold (as in -30) the module then work and the radio kick in.

My next module will be a better one with a genuine delco chip... that or I'll modify mine... not sure yet... the problem is probably simply their regulator that don't work at low voltage...

Did the radio come with a 5-digit code? It's a security measure. so no one can steal your radio. you can program your radio to (turn off) that feature.
