Terry, did you have to disconnect the battery or the radio or did you just pull it out
leaving it connected and plug in the adapter ?

Also, did you have to ground the adapter ?

I've never pulled the radio out. Is it attached via a cable or does it just attach to
a plug ? Looking at GreenHeckler's photo tells me it just connects to a port/plug ?

thanks.

Hi,

I just pulled it out using those special tools (remember to place screwdrivers through the holes of the tools when you get purchase and pull on the screwdrivers, using your fingers alone will be quite painful).
I did not ground it, although it is suggested that you disconnect the battery.. I didn't do it and it worked just fine.
All you need to do is plug it in at the back, and feed the connector to the front.
Also, you will need to 'activate' AUX on your radio by pressing the TP button for a few seconds and selecting AUX to ON from the menu.

Shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

Thanks
Terry
