if have the monster icruze and it was working perfectly for about 3 or 4 months, then i let my friend drive my car because i didn't want to leave my E at the trainstation over night. So when i return from my trip, i plug in my my ipod, and it recognizes theres a connection cause it charged the ipod but it wont go into icruze mode like it usually does. so i figure something is just loose and needs to be reconnected. so im curious as to how to remove the head unit without messing up any of the wiring. i have the ipod input cable running through the glovebox.
if there are any walk throughs or things like that, that would be great
pics help too!
thanks

Pry off the radio trim surround at the four corners and it will expose the four bolts holding the factory radio in. Remove the bolts and just slide out the unit and check the connections.
