HI THANKS......that was the first thing i did when i thought of another battery, the only thing in the manual under battery changing is a page about the remote battery changing......the dealer also says that if the car battery is not backed up I'll lose all settings in my particular car and every thing will have to be re-programmed......

but i have the backup plug :)
