1.)My jeep gps lost all of my address book & recent trips. It will not save anything now but will allow me to put in an address and give instructiosn to get there. This happened after the jeep did not start, click, nothing one morning. I jiggled the battery terminals (no corrosion)and it started and has started since. I replaced the battery since it was 5 years old anyway. 2.) at the same time one of the electric seat adjustments stopped working although the motor for that operation still tries to work. seems to be jammed.
If the gps relies on the main battery for memory,that is why it is gone.the battery died
they should have a separate back up like a computer has a battery inside to retain the bios information and clock settings.
you should have a small secondary battery like a motorcycle battery,in parallel with the main battery isolated by a diode.
