CAI Install Question
 

Sorry if this is somewhere already, I did a search and didn't find a definitive answer. Is it required to disconnect the Negative Batt. cable to install the CAI. Don't want to do all the re-program, windows, radio etc. if I really don't half to.

Thanks in advance!!:help::help:

No, you do not have to disconnect the battery cable. You wont be near any electrical wiring.

99% of the time mfgs put that in the instructions as a disclaimer for the people who manage to find a way to shock themselves or short out the electrical system. There's no real reason to do it. I didn't even do it when I put my LTs on or my tune.

I disconnected mine and didn't lose any programs... I was suprised when i reconnected it and my radio stations were still saved:thumbup:

:respekt:Thanks to all, will try it without disconnect.!!

When we submit products to the California Air Resources Board for exemption they want a copy of the install instructions. SSMat is right, it's a disclaimer they make us include. Even if the instructions were how to change a tire, they would still want it to start out with 'disconnect negative battery cable'. Big brother doesn't want you to get hurt is all. When I'm doing headers, I always disconnect it. Although the Camaro's have a shield over the starter, you just never know, and when and if something sparks, the computers can sometimes really take it personally.

No disconnect needed.

CAI installed, no disconnecting Batt., no codes, love the responsive throttle!!!:D:D:D
