Yes. If you disconnect the battery from the vehicle what happens is that the anti theft system on the radio thinks the the radio is being stolen because it loses power. What you have to do is enter a code that is provided to you by the dealership. If they don't have the code on record then the dealer has to remove the radio to find out the code.
It will delete the pre-programmed radio stations.
Insert the correct code in the radio by way of the preset buttons.
