Default JK - Run with no radio?

Hypothetical question, let's say that I bought a MyGig online, and that I was to ship it to my US address. If I where to drive down with no radio in the JK, will it work?

The theory being that I will install it while there

Pretty sure it will. Easy test though. Unplug the radio and try the starter.

Can't see that it would be a problem. Heck, I had to disconnect all kinds of stuff the other day, including the instrument panel which plugged in via 3 ports with goodness knows how many wires sprouting out of each. She started just fine with all that disconnected so can't be a problem with the radio out.

Nothing will happen, my canbus wires aren't hooked up on my radio, even if you unplugged the infinity amp it won't do anything, only if there's a problem in the amp will you get a check engine light
