Re: BX central locking problems
Just to clarify please, did you donate the spooky radio to the priest or send it to him for exorcismBX_dizwol wrote: The stereo in the car was always a little strange, it had a ghost in it that would retune the radio and adjust the volume as i was listening so i decided to change it and send the old one to a nice priest

Its possible that the old radio only had power to the radio section and no conection to the memory - which therefor didn't do its job.
I removed an original type Philips radio/tape player from my BX and replaced it with a MP3 disc player which was in there for about 18 months. The thing in our ZX then died (started off loosing memory then expired altogether) and I put the MP3 player in it and the old Philips back in the BX. Imagine my surprise when I found it still retained the presets! after 18 months without power!
