new battery?

[p90ade]

might be a silly question but im going to get a new battery the weekend to try stop my trip reseting itself, will i need to reset anything when i change the battery and more importantly will i need any codes?

You will need your radio code .

Reconnected my battery on the 182 at the weekend after fitting some wiring for a CTEK battery charger/conditioner, as MrBilly says needed just a radio code, and the clock resetting. The car did make some strange wirring type noises when I tuned the ignition on for the first time after though - aircon/fan action mostly.

iv just looked through the radio manual and it doesnt say what the code is. it says 0000 but i think thats just as a display.

where else would it say the radio code?

Mine is not in the radio handbook, but in the service book in the front inside cover along with all the other info, VIN number, locking wheel nut number etc.

Just so you know this will definitely cure the trip resetting fault. Some people will diagnose the most complicated of causes for it doing it and its nearly always just a knackered battery!

It worked for mine anyway!
