Rebooting my car computers (95 530i V8 M60)

Is this the right procedure. I am skeptical about shorting + and -. And what is ignition position 2?

1. disconnect battery cables, first -, then +
2. turn ignition on position II
3. connect both battery cables ("short") for at least 10 minutes for drain of remaining power out of the system
4. ignition off
5. connect battery cables again to battery, first +, then -


Thanks

Ive been unplugging the DME harness overnight. I think that should work.

yes and much easier. the only thing crossing the cables does is make you re-enter the radio code.
