It isn't entirely necessary to disconnect the battery, but disconnecting it resets the ECU.
It'll get reset either way once it begins to learn to adapt to your CAI but disconnecting it for 30 minutes gets the job done much faster.
I think.

I didn't remove mine but I did disconnect to get immediate results from the CAI. Jens told me that the computer will reset on its own but it's faster when you disconnect the battery for 15 minutes. Have your radio codes handy though. You will need them and you only have three tries and then it's back to the Acura dealer for a reset!

and near the battery.
You can reach that bolt if you have a long (we're talking 8" or so) socket wrench extension. If you don't I don't see how you can get to it without pulling out the battery. If you aren't sure what I'm talking about take a look in my sig for my installation pictures.
