Doesn't really matter... but you want to make sure you have the radio code on hand because you will need it when you hook the radio back up. At least pull the fuse for good luck. Disconnecting the battery will also cause the ECU to reset and have to re-learn your driving style - but that's not a bad thing. >2) FM on the radio is fine, but AM is poor.
