Memory loss when battery disconnected?

Post by StuBeeDoo » Thu Oct 05, 2023 12:22 pm

When I get 'round to swapping my steering wheels, obviously I'll need to disconnect the battery - because of the airbag. I've only had the battery disconnected once before, a couple of years ago when I replaced it.

Can someone remind me which functions are like to lose their memory when the disconnection happens? I'm assuming the OBC and the mileage trip will, but I can't think what others might.

TIA

Memory positions for seat/mirrors I think. Might lose the ICE station memories as well.
