so this morning was the first cold one, around 12 last night and
20 today...

start up the car, a little rough idle, seat is ice, the usual =]
but when i turn the radio on it asks for code...

how weird is that?

anyone can back me up on this? i thought u had to disconnect the battery to throw a radio code...?

maybe the voltage on your battery dropped below some level over night?
perhaps while cranking the engine for the first time this morning?

I dunno... talkin out of my ass here kinda, but check your battery voltage(s).

definetly a low battery situation, have that thing checked before you get stranded somewhere!

it thought that it was a low battery, but then
it cranked right up....almost instant turnover...
strange right? so then last night i used the obc
hack to monitor my voltage and it was always
above 13....so that's a healthy alternator....and
the battery is only a few years old...

today i entered the code, tuned into my fav
xmas station, and hit a bump, and it started
asking for a code again...now i'm thinking
faulty connection to the radio.... thanks
everyone for ideas
