The manual makes all kinds of references to window positions, memory, etc. Is this real or just takes care of itself?

Radio: My '03 was purchased used, and I see no radio card anywhere. The manual, and the radio manual, make no reference to a radio card or code. Maybe the radio in '03 doesn't have a code? The manual only refers to a transponder in the radio that is matched to the car.

Anything else I should know before/after?

Cheers,
Ron
Disconnecting the battery will require re-coding the radio. If you don't no the code (because you don't have the card) you'll be SOL !
