Ok during each of my mods I was told to disconnect the battery to let the computer reset itself also it says to remeber your radio stations so that you can re-enter them later. Ok on each of my mods I disconnected the battery and when I was done with the install I re-connected the battery and I go to start the car and nothings change as far as my radio.

Dose this mean I need to leave it disconnected longer to restet the computer..???!!!! If so how long?!

I have noticed the same thing if I do a quick disconnect. I believe it takes 1 hr+ to actually brainwash it.

to reset the ECU, you need to leave the battery disconnected for 45 minutes or an hour.
