Thank you! 👍Yes, they're a must on some newer or high end cars. I like the plug in memory saver if you have another vehicle or 12v battery available. This is nice for the ease of portability though.
Once AGAIN Jonny you have come up with a video that is SO useful!! It is amazing how you always seem to think of everyday helps for me. And obviously by the phenomenal growth of your channel many many others. Thank you young Brother!!
Hi Mr Jonny, its same or not if we use 9V battery, but the cable from 9V battery we straight away we connect to positive and negetive terminal cable in bonet?
I think you need the little gadget as it has a diode in it. You can hook up another spare 12v battery to the leads while swapping. Ive done that carefully hooked with jumper cables to another car's battery
Never heard of that thing. What a genius move. Unfortunately, I have a push button start and no way to use it. Always good to see your videos and your attitude filled with sunshine. You and your family have a wonderful and safe 4th of July weekend. 👍🏼
@@robran53 Everything shuts down when the car is turned off and the cigarette lighter plug turns off when car is. However, there must be something in place as it takes about 10 minutes for the computer to reset itself. Have never lost any settings.
Thank you Chuck! Hope you have a great 4th as well! 🎆 If you check owner's manual there is usually a way you can essentially set it to the accessory setting with push button vehicles 👍
@@Charlielizard I think you can use a battery booster pack ... just clip the booster pack cables onto your battery cables BEFORE removing your battery cables from your battery. This will supply your car with an un-interrupted source of power the whole time. Leave them connected until you re-connect your battery cables to your new battery. You can then safely un-clip them. All settings will have been saved!
You can get one that connects to your odb port and will keep it powered. As others have said you can also connect a booster pack, if you're using this method think it through as you won't want the wires to touch the car metal, or you. If you can get a friend to hold the wires, good, if not you might want to get some cardboard and some masking tape to quickly and easily secure the wires out of the way.... Also if you have two buddies you can use a trick a call out repair did on my dad's when he got stuck in middle.of nowhere. Now you'll want to Google this but this is what I seen them do. One held the red wire and red connector on the old battery, the other held the black wire and black connector on the old battery. My dad lifted the battery out and put it on the engine, the. Slotted the new one in, the guy holding the red connected the red cable, then let go of the red on the old battery, then the guy holding the black connected the black and let go of the Old battery.
The problem with this type of memory saver is that its function depends on the the cigarette lighter port whether it is always active or whether it is only active when the ignition is on. It is better to have a battery saver that can be connected directly to the plus and minus wires going in to the battery plus and minus poles with a crocadile clip attachment.
This is so cool, thanks for the video! Do you know how long the memory plug stays working? I’m not trying to change my battery yet - it’s just really dirty in that spot and I need some time to take it out and clean under it and connect it back.
The 9v cant last too long, if needing to do for a while I'd get the obd2 port wire that connects to either another 12v battery or cigarette lighter like this one amzn.to/338kHV7
Yeah I like those too. They have them where you can connect directly to another 12v battery or another car's cigarette lighter. I may get one of those to have on hand too 👍
@@JonnyDIY They have more power too, so you don't have to disconnect any lights. I have three vehicles where you can take the battery out without causing any problems except for the radio pre-sets, but newer cars require that you use a power back-up to prevent problems with the computer(s). So having a good back-up is a must for these newer cars. 👍👍👍
Excellent vídeo, excellent job, excellent information, thank you so much for share your beautiful vídeo, now, what year is the car? Thank you, thank you, thank you
You disconnected and reconnected the battery with ignition key on...Never a good idea. I just replace my battery. This will empty out all the OBD codes, and reset any "check engine" lights too. Over time these codes will be repopulated. As for radio codes, I have my favorites written on paper and don't mind putting them back in manually. If my car was due for yearly inspection I would use this gizmo and try to save the computer codes. Otherwise I would not.
You're right, but certain vehicles you must do it this way or problems can arise. I actually like the one you plug into the obd2 port then another car or 12v battery best
It worked just be careful because its only 9v. If have access to another 12v battery I would get the cord that connects from your obd2 port to another cars or spare 12v battery

We have been using memory savers for years, although we usually use them only on the higher end vehicles. Great video! 👍🇨🇦

@@geroutathatExcellent idea. Thank you!
I had no idea these things even existed! Thank You!
You're welcome, happy to help 👍
Is these ok use on all cars please vauxhall etc
Yes should work fine, can use the one that connects to the obd2 port too, those work on all cars with the port 👍
Great job Jonny! Keep up the good work with the vids
Thank you! Happy to share 👍
I got the one that plugs into obd port under drivers side dash, uses 9v battery also
Ohh awesome, don't think I've seen that one before 👍

my favorite ones are the type you plug into the obd2 port and then to either another cars battery or another cars cigarette lighter

@@JonnyDIY Thank you for the speedy reply! I'll look into that one!
Hi,the memory saver does it work for aftermarket head units?
Yes memory savers should provide enough power to save all the settings on radios, computer etc 👍
@@JonnyDIY Great, thank you!
@@Mustafaj-c7z you're welcome 👍
Does this work on all American car, Hyundai 2022
@@leonardguerrero4612 yes any car with cigarette lighter👍 you can also get the ob2 one that goes to a 12v source. I linked one in description box
Why does the ignition need to be on?
@@AudunBarsk because most cigarette 12v plugs don't have power when vehicle is off, so ignition needs to be set to On to get power to them
@@JonnyDIY Thanks :)
@@AudunBarsk you're welcome, glad to help 🙌👍
There are devices you can buy that plug in the computer code reading port that do the same thing. They may work better.
Yeah I like those too. They have them where you can connect directly to another 12v battery or another car's cigarette lighter. I may get one of those to have on hand too 👍

@@audiophileman7047 yeah it's wild the problems that can be caused in some newer cars just by disconnecting the battery 🤦♂️
Excellent vídeo, excellent job, excellent information, thank you so much for share your beautiful vídeo, now, what year is the car? Thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you! I think it was a 1997 👍
Great idea ....but is that 9v battery enough to supply thet system ?
Yes, well just the computer. That's why I made sure no lights were on or anything and went through the window to turn on 👍
First connect the memory? before replace the battery
Yes make sure it had another power source before disconnecting 👍
Check the cigarette lighter with a multimeter, to see if it’s live with the ignition off. Our Mazda CX-5 shows 12.5 V when off, so we’re good to go.
@@ChicagoRob2 Awesome 👍 Yeah it's kind of hit or miss with vehicles/manufacturers which have live 12v all the time or not
You disconnected and reconnected the battery with ignition key on...Never a good idea.
I just replace my battery. This will empty out all the OBD codes, and reset any "check engine" lights too. Over time these codes will be repopulated. As for radio codes, I have my favorites written on paper and don't mind putting them back in manually.

What’s up man!
Heyyy what's up brother! 💕👍
I bought the same one but it did not save the memory even green light shown up.
Bummer gotta make sure fresh battery and socket live. May want to do some experimenting with it, see if you can get it to work or if it was defective
"...this thing only costs about 10 bucks". Amazon link shows $14.22. Not unusual for these times I guess!
Right!? Inflation is crazy right now 😳😣
Where I live they just do it with the engine running. No need to buy any gadgets.
With older cars people used to do that, but a lot of newer cars will die once you disconnect battery. Its much safer to just use a memory saver tool
That’s pretty smart.
You needed to check the radio settings to see if the memory keeper worked.
It worked just be careful because its only 9v. If have access to another 12v battery I would get the cord that connects from your obd2 port to another cars or spare 12v battery
