Default Help!!!! Car starts w/o key

Was doing a head unit change and when I put everything back together, a soon as I reconnected the batt, the car started (key was in my pocket). Had to pull the fuel pump fuse to stop it. WTF did I do and what do I do now? Posting this in c5 general too.

Pretty crazy man - i don't have any help for you really...

But what does "doing a head unit change" mean? Just swapping out your deck? What all did that involve?

Good Luck

Dan

Not much, if you do it right. Basic tools flat, phillip and torx drivers. Good write up w/ pictures on the audio forum (sticky at top for c5) I think the info is on p.2.

Made some adjustments and got the car to stop. Need to really fix the problem tomorrow when I'll have some more time.
