The wire will be a BLUE or BLUE/BLACK that has to be connected to the BLACK wire in the back of the harness. This is the ground loop that wire that must see ground for the OEM keyless to work without the OEM stereo.

That's what I was told. This information was from the beginning of last year, so the 2002 may or may not have these colors, but make sure you test with your DMM prior to trying to do this. The BLACK should be a ground, but the BLUE or BLUE/BLACK may not be so use your DMM to be sure .

I don't want to cut the wrong wire. It's from the stock "bunch of wires"? :( I'm stuck here.

Yes, you don't have to cut the wires, rather jump the two wires together. When the unit is not plugged in the loop is open and when the unit is plugged in, the circuit closes and completes the circuit enableing the keyless unit.

How do you strip the wire without cutting it?

Either use a wire stripper ot use a utility knife to strip away the insulation and expose the bare copper wire.
