News: Memory setting keeper

[Stella]

I've heard people discuss ways of keeping their setting after disconnecting the battery. I new there was a product that plugs into your cigarette outlet that has a 9v that will retain your settings seats, windows, radio, etc. Well was at the interstate batt. store and found what I remembered. It will temporarily supply enough power to keep ALL your settings. Indexing the windows wasn't my problem with the disconnect it's all the other settings that takes time I'll never get back. Hope it helps others as it did me!

In many cases, disconnecting the battery is done to clear codes or glitches stored in module memory. Applying external power to the bus for those occasions defeats the purpose.

I just replaced the battery in my '06 V and only had to re-index the windows. Never lost any on the other settings.

I had my battery disconnected from April to September last year and only had to re-index the windows. Everything else stayed as it was before.

I haven't had to replace the batt. but had heard of the loss of settings with other cars thought I would b ahead of the game. guess I won't have to reindex.
