Re: Car Stereo
the factory stero does not need to stay connected but it is a good idea to buy the relocation cable this allows you to use your stereo to change the security functions and reset to oil change light yada yada ...yeah i said yada yada

OOOOOO!!!! Relocation Cable !!!! Didn't know one of those exsisted. I just had to take my Alpine out and pop the OEM unit in to reset my Oil Life Light. I definitly Don't wanna do that every time the light pops on. Where can I get one, how much and where does it let you relocate the head unit to.

Re: Car Stereo
The oil change light can be reset by turning the iginition switch to on, not crank, and the acclerator to the floor three times within 5 seconds.

Re: Car Stereo
most stereo shops will be able to order it just explain what you have and what you want the only one i have seen allows relocation to the trunk well it's long enough to relocate it to the trunk but i'm sure you could put it any where you wanted

Re: Car Stereo
wel the radio doesnt control it, it allows you to change it. all those settings get sent to the BCM and it remembers evrything, so if you go to take out your radio, amke sure you have all your setting where you want them because once you take it out, they will stay how you had them and you cant change them unless you put the stereo back in or relocate it.

Check out the info here. I wish a mod would make one of these damn posts sticky, so that people who forget how to use the search button would at least be able to answer some of their own questions.
