Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I ordered an iPod hook up cable for my car (its actually for a different radio, but if the pins differ in arrangement greatly I'll just re arrange them). And I have a couple questions: I ordered removal tools, but was curious if there was a way to remove the radio without them? Just in case or something I also understand that there is a place i can draw power from that is used for charging phones above the radio? Can anybody tell me where this is? Thanks guys!

You cannot remove the radio without radio keys, but some people have been able to use universal keys. If your worried just keep the keys in one of the trunks. Do a search for the telephone or phone connector. It is under the center console, and there is plenty of information on the cable and the wire colors.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
