    My 2005 (#9 package) inside temperature setting resets itself to 75 every time the car is turned on no matter where it was set when it was turned off. Also, the outside termpature display resets itself to the Celsius scale at the same time. Pressing the "Climate" button then puts it back to Farenheit. Anyone else have these automatic (unintended) resetting problems?

    Strange things have been known to happen when the 12v battery is on it's last legs.

    Our 2004 has the same problem, but it is not just the display. It's the whole temperature regime. In the winter that may not be so bad, but I would enjoy having it stay where I put it rather than going to a default. It has been a progressive problem. For a while it only did it a couple of times a week, but now it reverts almost daily.

    Check the 12V battery.
