I know I will lose the car clock and radio channel memory but if I disconnect my battery will anything else need to be reset or need a factory code or anything? I dont want to lose the use of the radio Cd and cant find details of a code in the paperwork?

I'm having BSI (locking in problems) so wanted to try a BSI reset by disconnecting the battery etc.
May well have to find a replacement BSI power board from looking at your forum posts?

No problems with radio or remote locking if you remove the battery :D

This topic has tips on resetting the BSI (here). Same for battery removal.
