This is a critical safety piece as anyone attempting to remove the positive (red "+") terminal first will encounter a short circuit and resulting sparks should their wrench that's loosening the terminal come into contact with any metal connected to the vehicle chassis or is otherwise grounded. If there are any gasses emitted by the battery or fuel vapors, their ignition by these sparks could prove fatal. Your effort to saving countless of readers time and money is most appreciated, and I am convinced that you would be interested in ensuring the safety of your readers who are following your instructions. Thank you for your consideration of this advice. Sincerely, Rich N., Fayetteville, NC Sir,

You are supposed to disconnect the negative (black) first and reconnect it last. The negative terminal is the black one, not the red; red is positive in all DC systems.

Now it doesn't work at all. Can I replace the dvd player in a similar way to the cd player? I put 2 DVD’s in my 2007 Honda Odyssey dvd player and then used another one to get them both out.

My 3-year old did the same thing - put coins in the CD player - and, as a result, my brake lights wouldn't go off, even after the key was out of the ignition. A Honda mechanic alerted me to the possible connection to coins in the CD player. I would never have had the nerve to start tearing up my dash to take out the player myself if it weren't for stumbling upon this page. It really was easy! One thing, however - your first instruction says "disconnect the negative terminal," but the photo is of you disconnecting the *positive* terminal (i.e., the one on the left protected by a red rubber cover) - something your owner's manual would tell you never to do without first undoing (with a wrench) the negative terminal. Could you clarify? Thank you for detailing these instructions so clearly.

I did not believe that it would be that easy! I thought it was coins that the 2.5 year old had put in the CD player but it turns out it was a poker chip! I had to take off the back of the player to get the poker chip out - that was an easy additional step though. CD player worked like a charm once I got everything back in! Thanks!

Put your hand between the steering columm and the bezel, pull gently until the bezel dislodges form the dash. DONOT use a screwdriver you will damage the console around the radio.

I can put an aftermarket stereo with DVD for a bit over $100. But how do I connect the factory screen that hangs from the ceiling? The screen works fine but has a Honda connector.
