CHAS1 Member Registered: 05/16/05 Posts: 425 Loc: Yardley, Pa	Just the other day I lost all Radio station preset stations and all Reminders I had programed in on the CRT. No current codes were set. Any thoughts on what to check. The stations were easy to reset but now all the Birthdays and Anniversary's are a pain to set. This occured out of the clear blue. Car is drived daily and not stored. Thanks Edited by CHAS1 (09/05/08 01:27 PM)

If I'm not mistaken, you have to update all of your personal info through your preferences. I don't have my owners manual handy but take a look at it. It'll tell you how to set up your preferences.

Check the battery cables and make sure they're good and tight. I'm sure others will chime in with ideas. I think the '88's & '89's are way cool with the CRT's. How long have you had your car?? Mike

Is it possible that there is a small internal battery some where just for this purpose? After all these years it may have finally quit. Just a thought. _________________________ steve, 91 coup (white with white trim, medium beachwood interior) 91 convertible (white with white trim, saddle cloth top and medium beachwood interior) 91 coup (white with black trim, medium beachwood interior) 90 coup (driftwood) Anybody looking for a southern California car, feel free to contact me.
