Default Tips before disconnecting battery

Hey gang,
My car will be in a 4 day weekend car show this August. Indoor arena. One of the rules is battery must be disconnected. Any tips before I do this. I have a custom sound system and I know I'll have to index the windows. Anything else?
Thanks

Make sure you have the physical key and that it works to open the hatch and that you know where the door opener pull is and that it works too....in case someone shuts your hood. If the hood gets shut you will be locked out of the car.

In an emergency you can hook up jumper cables to the starter lug & ground under the car but its a hassle, making sure the key works is a better plan.

Make sure you pull your parking brake on or the mirrors will not index and will drop on each side

The more I follow your postings, the more I got to know you.

I know what you posted in LS1tech, where you work, where you live, where you originally from, past military service, favorite hang outs, street racing claims and .....


Following various forums is basic social engineering 101.
