no problems in that respect as i live on a gated site so they would need barrier code.

Try disconnecting the FBH if you have one for a few days and see if this makes any difference

if not have you had the alternator checked just bouncing some ideas of the wall so to speak Arctic

I was delighted last week when I removed the battery to charge it that the radio had stored all of the settings that were programmed into it! How refreshing!
It even seemed to reset the cd changer long enough for me to eject the cartridge, load cd's, re-insert the cartridge just so that it could get stuck in there again
