Just curious. Does AAA use this device? Also, if the battery is dead, isn't the memory already wiped clean? And, wouldn't the important data stored in a vehicle be non-volatile memory or permanent memory? Even cheap devices, like TV remote controls use non-volatile memory.
I have asked a mechanic to disconnect the battery and reconnect it just to restore the screen electronic functions when they inadvertently failed.
