I think it should be fine for 2yrs without any power bud, i think it\'s called a dynamic memory or something.

is there a certain section on there to put it back to a basemap at all, ie if you have bought a second hand one

hey lee,

you need the hand commander to reset to base map (or datalogit). it\'s not a physical button the on the pfc to reset to base map.

Haha that\'s exactly what I did when I got mine! mind you it\'s also what I was doing this morning - scared stupid that my water temps were going to jump up and kill the engine. luckily that didn\'t happen!

I know what you with the water temp its scary when you get stuck in traffic and watch it going up and up hoping that the fans kick in and bring down. Lucky they do and you can watch it coming down as well.

Yep and even better when you get it mapped etc and the get the fans told to come in a few degrees lower, think mines @ 86....
