Disconnected Car Battery, What Info do you Lose?
Got my car back from the body shop from the garage gate incident last month.
I know that body shops usually disconnect the car battery so that they dont have to jump it. On the RX, I am not sure if they did or not, because my radio presets are still all there. Those are usually the first to go. However, the nav settings were all changed. For instance, the map no longer faced north and rotated with every turn, my hwy info came back, and the zooming was different. Also my long term avg mpg meter on the instrument cluster was reset.
Just wondering if others have experienced the same thing.

yeah that is why I marked down the mileage going in and out. it was only 1 mile more than when I left it there a week and a half before. I can see the mpg numbers being reset, but the navigation is what bugs me

the repairs were fine. I noticed that there was some over spray on the OTHER side of the fender and on my hood clear bra, and so that is where I was today. They said that they would buff it out. 10 minutes later, its much better but there is still a bit there.
