Do I have to disconnect the battery

I'm changing out the window regulator and I don't seem to have a radio code for my PCM2 nav/radio. I' ll be working near the airbag. Do I have to disconnect the battery?

For safety yes. Check your front trunk option sticker to see if a PO or dealer wrote your radio code on it.

Yes.
If you will not disconnect it, you will get the air bag light.
As for your radio code, I think there is a way to retrive it.
Maybe another member can chime in on that.
