Default When I replace the battery........

Question: When I disconnect the battey to replace it with a new one in my 2015 Ultra Limited, will I lose anything set on the Boom Box or will it somehow retain the settings and preferences? (like the display color, nav preferences, radio frequencies, speaker/headset settings etc etc etc) I'd hate to have to go through all the set up again.

I just changed the battery on my14 Street Glide and I didn't look at my navigation settings but my colors and everything else was still the same as I left it.

Don’t forget to change the battery at midnight so the clock is correct!

I don't recall ever setting the clock on the Boom Box......but I see it's under "settings". If I leave it at "GPS Time" it will be automatic and will adjust automatically as I ride into different time zones.....easy and convienient. I'm just glad to learn the the BoomBox settings will remain even after I disconnect the battery for its change out.

The GPS time I am going to look at that. I don't use my GPS that much I have used it come to think of it seems like I have the right time when I traveled. Must have to turn the GPS on for it to change I know mine has been an hour off and I didn't mess with it it's correct now with daylight savings. LoL

My battery was out for a couple months and the radio presets stayed. Haven't played with the GPS yet this season. Also, haven't noticed anything working differently, that would indicate preferences had gone back to default.
