CAUTION: Metra recommends disconnecting the negative battery
terminal before beginning any installation, unless the vehicle
manufacturer recommends against so. Please check with your
local Dealership for more information. All accessories, switches,
climate controls panels, and especially air bag indicator lights
must be connected before reconnecting the battery or cycling
the ignition. Also, do not remove the factory radio with the key
in the on position, or the vehicle running. It would be best to
remove the key from the ignition and then wait a few seconds
before removing the factory radio.
