You'll have to go to the dealer to have them do it. They can pull your radio and read the serial number to get info from computer on which codes work for your radio. For giggles, check inside your owners manual case for a card that has it on it. There were two cards supplied to the original owners when bought new. Most people just put the cards in there.

if the 02 sensor is unplugged and you are reading a scan tool from the diagnostic link then of course the 02 reading is wrong
if you are using a volt meter right at the connector thats on the sensor then the 02 will read lean because the heating elements in it are disconnected when you unplug it

Basically you remove anything held by screws like the arm rest and inner door handles and then go around the edge of the door panel and pop it off the door. There are little plastic clips that snap the panel to the door. Some of these might break, but they are cheap and you don't need ALL of them. Go slowly and use a tool like a plastic putty knife if needed.

Check if there is a circuit breaker button under the dash. It might not be labeled. Look under the dash near the steering column. Push in the button if it is sticking out.
Check fuses. See if the roof and windows are on the same fuse.

I would take it back and get one that matches. do the hoses even reach?
If you want to force it to work then you risk inefficient cooling of the gearbox oil but the lower hose is usually the out hose from the radiator and the upper hose is fluid in. :O)

Air intake not adjusting correctly or is there a manual cold weather lever on the air intake pipes on these?
lamda sensors on exhaust? you might get an answer from the ecu if you plug it into a diagnostic machine. I'd take it to a garage

They're long, teal/blue in color and have mulitiple cross/ series compatability
