There are a number of writups online, but basically you disconnect the antennas at the head unit, and replace with these. Without them there is no resistance so the system knows things are wrong (and damage can be caused), while these fool the system into thinking there is no signal.

To kill the antenna with these you need to pull trim off the car to access the antenna plugs. Pulling the fuse takes 30 seconds and doesn't require tools unless you have fat fingers like me and can't grip the fuse to pull it.

Also, this could kill your FM/AM radio access depending on how things are wired and that may not be for everyone.

Good to know these exist though

True, but onany cars pulling the fused trips other errors. For instance on many Jeep/Chryslers you get check engine lights.

Is that supposed to be.....hard? I've removed trim panels from so many different cars, it's such a trivial thing that I don't even think about it anymore. 99% of trim panels are held in with plastic clips, you just grab it and tug a bit harder than normal. Pops right off.

I don't think it's hard either, but it may not be for everyone.
