What Memory Settings Are Lost With Dead Battery?
When you have a dead battery or simply change the battery, what settings, memory, etc. are lost on the C6? Thanks.

I dont think that the radio settings are effected as I think that GM puts either a capacitor or a battery in the head units.
On my old SS, I had my factory head out for 5 years and put it back in when I sold it...............memory presets were STILL there.

2 battery replacements for me. The only thing I lost was the window indexing.

Had 3 DBS attacks, lost seat and mirrors in 2 of them (strange)
Lost window indexing in one dead battery event.
Radio stayed ok, but lost clock in all 3.

Hold window up button for 3 seconds after window is at top of travel.
Release button, hold it again for 3 seconds.

Window Indexing and Average mileage on DIC reseted to 0, Average speed went to 0. Radio was fine. Left side of both tires went to 0 PSI but after you drive it for awhile that will automatically reset.

I installed Priority Start (which involves disconnecting the battery) and I only lost the window indexing.
Seat memory, A/C settings, Radio presets, etc, all were fine.

oops just remembered, I did lose the Averages on fuel economy and speed.

I've had more DBS incidents than I care to remember so installed Optima + Priority Start and out of all the DB's I only lost the window indexing, average fuel mileage and speed. I also put a battery tender on when I know I wont be driving for a while. No problems since.
