Run by Best Buy and ask them to plug in a reverse harness and power it up off a drill battery. Or slide your radio out and plug it back in.

All you hafta do is find the negative and positive and connect it to the battery temporarily and it will come on then just eject it

Have fun getting to those two pins which are right next to each other without shorting something out, possibly damaging the radio since there will be no fuse to blow.

have done it many times in 10 plus years of installing because of:

1. me not checking to see if one was loaded...i do forget on occassion
2. customers neglect to tell until the very end.."oh did you get my cd out of my old
radio....its my favorite".

The only safe sloution is to undo the new deck ( you should have radio removal keys in the packaging) and plug oem in and retrieve the disc....yeah it may seem like a pain but its acutally the easist and less trouble free way to do it. (trust experice on this)

damn it..that sucks! i remember doing this before with a head unit i installed a few years back, but it was an aftermarket one, and all i had to do was hookupthe turn on lead to the battery and it came on...but there sn't a turn-on type lead on factory radios is there?

IF you aren't selling it or it doesn't work anymore take it apart. I had to do that with my old Alpine deck it just took a big fat crap on me. I have to tag another price onto the ever growing list of the stuff to pay for on my car...
