It's utter rubbish
Netflix recommended this to me also, and - unfortunately - I accepted. Absolute bilge, making little sense. 2 spinning compasses out of 10.

Good video. Although - that steering looks well busy on real-life roads though bro innit? :shock:

(I imagine) that engine scream is really quite intoxicating, but I also suspect it might get quite tiring cruising along with severalty ...

Re: Car "memory saver" for battery replacement

I think your ‘vora had a different head unit (?)

Mine remembers radio presets etc but loses all the tone info and latency settings shizzle (and the tone settings are all sweepable parametrics which are a right PITA to set up).

When I had an early-life-failure battery, the repeated low-voltage ...

Re: Car "memory saver" for battery replacement



Does the one you've linked attempt to power the car's battery from the OBD port? :lol:


No - it powers the "at rest" vehicle electronics requirements via the OBD port (which allows you to swap the car battery without losing any info / resetting the ECU / causing the car to freak out in any ...

Re: Car "memory saver" for battery replacement


I've been using one for years, a very handy gadget.

As Ian inline fuse holder with current display, to test for current draws with the engine off etc.

I never thought they looked awesome, but I do get a little "ooh" when I spot a Fiat Coupe.

Colleague (who was a capable driver) had a 20V that I passengered in a couple of times - most memorably a high-speed trip from Edinburgh to 3-sisters outdoor kart track in Wigan (which I see has now been ...

Car "memory saver" for battery replacement

Just became aware of these gadgets via a discussion on the Lotus forum - you lose info on the Alpine head unit when you change the 12V battery on the Evora, and it also briefly sets the alarm off when you connect a new battery : which I never remember, hence it usually causes me to pit my shants ...
