I was doing some work so I left it disconnected from the negative post. Will there be any surprises in the morning? :?:

Shouldnt be. It may be alittle hard to start at first. Give give it alittle gas till it will idle if it does act up.. :wink:

Edit: Oh yea.. The clock may flash.. :lol:

I had mine disconnected overnight before, only thing was I had an aftermarket radio so all my saved settings on it were erased. Other than that no prob.

Thanks guys. Battery had some corrosion on it, but I decided not to clean them until next oil change.
I am installing new radio, and some cables are sticking out so I didn't want anything short-circuit.

Thanks again.

Glad to hear you're getting around to the install, hyedipin! I remember when you were looking for pics of aftermarket installs in the electronics forum. I just did my JVC KD-AVX2 install with the iPod adapter yesterday! I'll post pics soon. Make sure to post pics when you're finished!

...and now, back to the thread topic! :wink:

Don't touch the throttle when you first start it. A lot of vehicles recalibrate the throttle position sensor after a computer reset. If you are touching the throttle it may calibrate it with an incorrect value.

I don't remember touching throttle, I guess everything worked fine.

During installation?

I didn't take any.
I will take a picture of what the back of the unit looks like when I get my damaged antenna adapter replaced.

I was hyped up about the cables and them not working.. I thought I screwed up big time... to be honest didn't want to document my failure... :cry:

after I fixed it, it was too late..
