hmm....disconnect the battery and leave it disconnected overnight. You could disconnect it and then hold down the brake pedal and wait 15 to 30 minutes to do the same thing. Beyond simple and talked about before.

Either side, 15 minutes is sufficient but easier to leave it overnight. Just fyi incase it's not obvious all your settings will be erased (radio presets, time etc.)

And don't forget about the window reset that you will need to do.

You should just keep trying the pedal method that way the radio presets wont erase. It took me 20-30 tries before i got it to work. It helped if i used a watch for the timing.
