USASpec Install
USASpec Install
Hi AZ I appreciate the detailed DIYs on here and help,
But installing this USA Spec in a 2005 I've found that in the back of my factory stereo is a blue plug (closest to me from driver side).
Is this the same as the white one in the how to (and youtube video I watched)? There seems to be little space to get your finger above it and push the pin down because of what appears to be more wires above.
PS would removing the whole stereo be easier? I have small hands and I thought this would take a couple minutes. Tried last night but it turned dark early, so now I have a few hours of light today.

My car is NON Navigation from Canada. Can't believe I left that out.
Picture of blue plug in question:

To the right of this blue plug is an empty white slot shaped much like the USA Spec slot. I took a pic so I could see behind there.
Do I plug the USA Spec in without unplugging anything else? Meaning into the empty slot? This isn't how I seen it done..
Here's the video I watched, this step is at 7:00 minutes in and only takes him a second!

False alarm guys. I'm an idiot and the wire in the video and DIY is clearly for the XM radio which I don't have in my car.
So I just plugged the cable in without using the split and it's a go!
Thanks anyway, if I wasn't for AZ I wouldn't even have bought the unit. And yeah I realize I could have had screen text if I got the Dice, but only after I placed my order. Doh.
