'09 ECU reset itself??
I left town for a few days. When I return my vette lost all its settings.
I had a personalized message, radio settings, and everything setup the way I want it. Now it is all back how it was stock.
Question here does that mean I may have lost the tune as well??
Don't tell me my vette has amnesia!

You cant lose your tune at all. Even if your battery dies completely or you disconnect it.
You battery may have lost enough power to where it couldnt hold the settings but it still started. Its happened to many a person around here.

Different key fob?
You should have received 2 key fobs when you bought the car. I think that is associates fob 1 with driver 1 and fob 2 can have different settings. Just a thought?

That's what I'm thinking Kirk.

I think it is because I leave an iPhone charger in the car. It has a little light on it. Its the same key FOB I always use. The other one never gets used.
I guess it drained enough that my car got "light headed"

you can disconnect the battery and the only settings you will lose are the windows indexing. I have done it many times with no problems.
