Power to radio when Battery disconnected
I thought I read somewhere that there was a way to keep power to radio when you disconnect battery for replacement. Hate to loose all the preset stuff on the radio!

Back in the day I wired a 9 volt battery to a cigarette lighter and plugged that in when i unhooked the batt...not needed now.

I guess by this message you're swapping the battery yourself. A battery shop knows to keep auxillary power on the car during the change-out.

I have a little 9volt battery plug for the cigarette lighter that I use which I bought on Amazon for a few bucks, and have never lost any settings or window indexing when replacing or disconnecting the battery.

I've had my battery disconnected many times and usually nothing is affected (other than the windows, of course). I've never had to reset the stations on the radio,
As the car has gotten older I've had to reset a few things. The clock a few times, the steering wheel once, and the latest occurrence I had to reset the driver-side mirror.
Go figure.
