dnx8220: settings lost when battery disconnected

[V_J]

Hello,

Recently, I ran into some car trouble; long story short the battery was disconnected. When I got my car back, the Kenwood dnx8220 asked for the passcode, but after that all settings were lost (radio presets, news interrupt settings, display settings, I fear audio settings as well - haven't checked those yet...). However, all the navigation related settings were kept.

Is this the normal behaviour?
The main reason for asking is that the device has quite a number of settings (esp. in the audio department), had I known they would be lost, I'd have written them down...

It could be that it is normal, in which case this is simply a heads-up!

It's possible that your installer saved the settings on the unit itself.

I lost settings on my DNX7220 after my battery died (left headlights on). My installer had saved the settings on the Kenwood and was able to recall them.

So check with your installer, you maybe lucky. Just a thought

Well, I did all these settings myself...

I thought that the installer-save was to be able to lock some audio settings (to prevent un-intended changes)... I hadn't thought it might also save the settings in the event of a powerloss... but I did save them, so I'll try a recall!

But I thought it only includes audio settings, not for instance the tuner settings (presets, news interrupt,...)...

According to my dealer, loss of all this data is normal...

I don't know if I stored the audio settings, so that one may be my fault. But presets, etc. are normally lost...
