If you disconnect the battery you loose all your radio presets and it only has to be for 10seconds aswell.

Here is a picture of the fuse you want to pull in the engine bay, same deal rip it out for 10-15 secs and presto your done and still keep your presets in place.

I always reset my ecu after any kind of modification/parts replacment.
