I don't believe disconnecting the radio will help anything. Even if it's in the "wait" or "hold" mode. Let us know if this takes it out of the wait or hold mode, I'd be interested in knowing. But even if it does, it will still be at least in "code" mode, so you need to find the code. When the previous owner installed the radio, it also would have needed the code. I suggest really scrutinizing any paperwork found in the car, or with the sales documents to see if he wrote the number down somewhere, or maybe a friendly phone call to the guy. At some point he HAD to know it. It possibly could be written on the radio chassis somewhere also, although NOT from the factory! Also, if a VMI has been done, if you remove the radio, cross-check the actual number on the chassis with what is on VMI.
