DBS Question
My battery on my '08 finally died... no biggie, could of had it towed into the dealership and replaced under warranty but I chose to put a Interstate Battery in myself. The Interstate Battery comes with a no questions asked 3 year warranty.
My question is this.... I re-indexed the windows so that is all good, the only thing that didn't stay was the mirror settings. I thought the mirrors, seats settings, etc were programmed to the individual FOB? Is that not the case?
Both my FOB and my wife's FOB remembered all the seat settings settings except for the mirrors.
I Found that odd. Is that normal.
Should I be checking anything else?

The fob doesn't 'remember', the car does. Otherwise, replacing the fob battery (which happens much more often) would be a real pain, and there would need to be much more memory in the fob, etc.
Just run through your normal stuff - garage door opener, DIC programming, etc. Should be relatively painless. On one of my other cars, there was a bunch of stuff the car 'forgot' but remembered after some driving with anew battery.
BTW - a dead battery after several years is not DBS. That was used to refer to a situation with unexplained battery drain on a near new car.

I'm guessing because I left the battery trickler plugged in (by accident, I thought it was unplugged) that the power source from the trickler was enough to maintain everything else.
Who knows.... good news is all is good.
