I wired mine in directly to the back of the radio. No coding was needed by the dealer in my case.

I use Amsoil European Formula LL-01. While we're at it, has anyone had their oil tested? I'd like to compare notes if so.

It's essentially glued on by the heat. I would think twisting it is the best method of breaking the seal. You could also try getting it hot before hand by running the car or using a hair dryer.

Piece of cake with the right tools. T60 it is.

I did see the above video, but they didn't use the torx bit for the AC belt tensioner. Just a slight difference in design.

Anyone know the torque value on the bolt I was messing with?

Wow, what a steal! On a side note, I got caught behind a Volvo with his/her rear fog light on on a clear winter night. I could have shot him/her. 20 miles staring at that thing and unable to pass!!!!

I've never had any problems reading mp3 cds, but only on random. It's useless trying to search for specific songs since a cd will hold a couple hundred mp3s.
