Default Installing an iPod integration kit this weekend. Any advice is appreciated.

I have the radio removal tools and I'm putting in the Dice Electronics kit.

TIA

Default Did you download the install guide? Also, use a towel to support the H/U once it's out-you don't

need to totally disconnect it.

Default I have not used the Dice kit (it helps if you read the entire post) but the...

hardest part of the install kit I used was removing the pins for the CD changer to install the ipod kit. You have to be a little forcefull in order to get them out. I assume that this kit works in the same way.

Default to remove the 'pins' (in this case, the DIN connector), you need to pinch the little clip

that locks it into place. then it slides out easily. and it goes back together quite easily as well...and clicks to lock them into place.

Default This kit has a vehicle specific interface cable so I don't have to worry about the pins.

And I'm installing it to the non-Bose unit in my 2002. Controls for a changer but no CD changer was installed. Thanks.
