Default Disconnecting Battery...is it true.......
Is it an old mechanics tale or Is it true once you disconnect the battery terminals, you need to re-program all personal DIC options memory selections?

Nope - not true. I believe the only thing that looses memory is the radio - you will have to reprogram the stations.
