I don't have the OE stereo so I don't need the code!
Is there anything else I should watch out for?

On UK spec cars you need to turn the ignition on (idiot lights illuminated) before the battery is disconnected otherwise the alarm will sound with your head above it!
Guess how I know?
Also leave ignition on for reconnecting for the same reason.
