Replacing battery in an '04 Explorer
If I replace the battery in an '04 Explorer, I am fairly sure I will
have to re-program the radio, but will I also have to re-set the keyless entry security codes as well ? Thanks |

It's a 9 volt battery connected to a cigar lighter plug. Holds the memory while you swap the battery. I have one that I made out of a plug and a special 12 volt photo battery. -- Steve W.

I wonder why car radios don't use nvram for stations settings? |

Went ahead and swapped the battery w/o a memory saver of any type. Found one at the local Auto store, but they wanted $20 for a unit that accepted a 9v as well as leads for another batter. Didn't do it, not for one swap every 4 yrs. Did not loose the security settings, did loose the radio stations, clock and the trip-odometer. Thanks |
