At the end of November of last year, the Crossfire was parked indoors for the winter season. It was filled with premium gas and had stabilizer added, the tires were also overinflated to 40psi. Battery removed and OEM cover installed, parking brake disengaged and left in 1st gear.
Today, the cover was removed, battery installed and tires reduced to 34psi. Started the car which fired up quickly and began checking everything. All instrumentation, radio, garage openers (X3) including GPS tracking all returned to their original settings as if nothing had every happened. No BAS/ESP lamp as reported by others, no loss of radio presets, no TPMS sensors acting wonky, nothing. Only the clock needed resetting.
Took it for a spin around the neighbourhood, "letting it go" on a few bursts and the car behaved just like it did the day I parked it. No issues what so ever.
That was easy...

 

Nice feeling any spider webs? only thing now is to clean it

 

Mine is still in stasis till mud season is over I got it last Oct, & only got to drive it for 2-3 weeks, this is torture.

 

Mine too. I was soooo close to opening the garage up and hooking up the battery today but I resisted. Not long now....

 

I just took mine out for a quick spin this weekend before putting it back for another month or so... I apparently forgot to put the tennis ***** back in the tailpipes from the last time I started it, so I hope theres nothing [now dead] up in the exhaust... there was some smoke coming off of the headers but I hope that's just dust burning off......

 

When the battery is connected, you will need to do a throttle reset (if desired). I also had to re-program the "chime off" seat belt option.

 

Thanks Tony - I'll keep that in mind. Still a few weeks to go for me, I think....

 

I've been driving the NA daily since the 1st of March

 

Got mine out last weekend which was apparently premature since its suppose to snow another foot tomorrow

 

Have mine in an underground heated garage (15C) and started every Sunday morning over the winter

She's ready for an oil change and new tires in a couple weeks cant wait

 

Me too...but how do you maintain your battery? I had no choice but to remove mine because their is no A/C outlets ANYWHERE to plug into. Here in Toronto the roads are now bare and the snow is pretty much gone, but we need a good rain to get rid of all the sand/salt residue still remaining on the road surfaces. Until then, I'm holding back from driving the Crossfire, otherwise it's ready to go.

 

Knock on wood no problem so far with battery. Just start her up put it in neutral and run it for about 10 minutes then drive inside the underground foward and reverse for another 10 minutes. This july my xfire turns 10 years old and works awsome with only 100k on her
