i've taken apart 04,05 & 06. the write-ups floating around are all applicable to all years. very easy install. should take my grandma <60min.

the only tools needed are: #2 phillips screwdriver, 10mm nutdriver/socket and patience.

follow the how-tos and you'll be fine.

at least on the US spec radios the HU does not need to be unlocked when disconnected.

to install the audiolink, you don't need to disconnect the radio though. there is ample room to maneuver & install the 16 pin connector.
