Actually my radio is dead as well. Someone from here told me that there is a fuse behind the radio unit, but I dont have a tool to get it out. Does the radio being off affect the OBD connection?

well being off no but being dead maybe. there were some people having the same issue with an aftermarket headunit. if you go to walmart they might have the tool, at least the one in binghamton does. it's like 8 buxx or something, if you send me the money i'll send you one.
