Default Battery Change

I had my battery replaced with a Optima Red Top. They used some type of small battery devise that pluged into the cig. lighter before disconnedting the old battery. This saved all memory settings....

I lose the key fob settings every time I pull the battery. Not a big deal as I never lock the car. Radio always fine. I dont have memory seats
Good Luck !

PS : the best thing of course is to buy say at Mid America a device with a 9 volt battery that plugs in the lighter and you wont lose anything

Here it is: http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=1.143

Never used it, but it says that it won't work on C5's.

Only things I lost when disconnecting the battery is the clock time and FOB needed re-synching.
