On a different note, how do all you guys get your signatures so long. It won't let me have any more than 100 characters.

From your added details it definately sounds like the Unified amp and A/C meter is not getting power when the vehicle is off. I would be optomistic that it should be an easy fix (ie a blown fuse)
Good....I also noticed on the way into work this morning that the Climate Controls don't retain anything either. I'll make time this evening to check the fuses before I go pulling the radio back out.

Also, I added a diode and now the shift light and traction control memory work well together.

I would starty by checking the 10A fuse marked 6 in the drivers kick panel (or passengers I guess it would be on the new cars).

That is the fuse for the Unified Meter and A/C Amp. When checking the fuses use an ohm meter if the "look" good because sometimes a hairline crack is all that will stop the fuse from working. If it is obviously blown then a meter isn't necesarry!

Thanks! The fuses are still on the drivers side. The only thing they moved is the BCM I guess.

Any thoughts????
Sorry to hear about your issues. Sounds like you have skilled help to try and solve. Where did you get all the stuff from? Sounds great, once kinks are worked out. Thanks!

I got the K40 system from a Calibre dealer (talked him into selling it to me without installing it )
All the other stuff came from KP Technologies www.kptechnologies.com
