The new JVC Kameleon receiver has this feature. Some of the older Kenwood Excelon receivers had the MASK security that rotated the faceplate 180 degrees so all that potential thieves could see was a blank face.

lol those were a great idea until everyone figured out what the random black thing in place of your stereo actually is. can't take off your faceplate either. i wouldn't get one.

Kenwood calls it "MASK" you see that and you found a Kenwood one
Tell you the truth they are dead give aways.Good to steal and resell because the face is still on it.I like Eclipse remove the face plus it has ESN so if they do get it witout the face it still won`t work till they send it to United Radio for unlocking then they are busted
