battery
Is there any way to disconect your batt. and not haveing to re-program any of the computer fuctions on the DIC.? I thought I saw here once that someone hooked up wires to a 9 volt batt. and attached them to the neg. and pos. cables before undoing the batt. and that the car keeps its memory. does anyone know if this is true, or has anyone done this. thanks

I've used a set-up I got from a auto part store which uses a 9 volt battery with a plug u plug into a power outlet like the old cig plug. Plug in the 9 volt b-4 unhooking your battery.

I've disconnected my battery many times and also had a few dead batteries along the way and never had to reset the DIC. It does reset the page which I need to reselect, but other than that, no functions or information changes are required. The only other item is the radio. If you have set the security settings, then you will need to input your code but all the stations are still live.

+2. I've never had any issues after battery was disconnected.
