If you can get to the back of the radio, tap into the gray wire on the larger harness, that should be the ignition. Otherwise, tap into one of the wires from the cigarette socket, but you'll need a voltmeter or test light to find out which one. Of course, you will need a ground, typically, any paint-free metal. But if you get to the back of the radio, it's the brown wire on the same harness.

It'd be great if you show her how to get the radio out....

I just assumed she had knowledge of getting the radio out, since those pictures she posted seemed to indicate that the lower hush panels were off already.

On the '02, i believe all it needs to be done is to pop the panel surrounding the radio out. Remove 4 10mm bolts, and slide the radio out. Voila.
