Disconnecting the battery

I have my TL-S in my garage with the battery disconnected for about two weeks already, (i won't use it in foul weather, corrosive salt).

When i do connect the battery, will i have any problems with the computers - engine, keyless entry etc.
I'm aware of putting in the code for the radio.

If you have the Acura navigation system, you'll also need a code for that.

What fsttyms1 won't tell you is that he has a 50 pound zinc sacrificial anode bolted to the bottom of his car so it won't rust!

Here's how you fix the auto up auto down window feature after disconnecting the battery.

"Turn your car key to the on position. Roll down your driver side window and hold for 10 seconds. Release and roll the window up and hold for 10 seconds."

Also make sure you have your radio code.

I would recommend connecting a float charger to your battery instead of disconnecting it. Should be able to find one for around 20 bucks I think and that way you wont need to worry about battery getting drained and re-entering codes when you do reconnect the battery.

I've never understood this kind of behavior.

Every car I've owned has sat outside (no garage) and been used year round. No rust on any of them. It's an Acura, not a 1970 Hemi Cuda.
