This is tool related... has to do with an OBD-II code reader. So anyway, those of you who frequent Free Parking know that my wife's 2006 LaCrosse threw a code at me (new gas cap seemed to solve problem, BTW).
Anyway, not having needed to read a code for quite some time, I simply started the car and plugged in the code reader and turned it on. As soon as I did that , there were loud repeated popping noises coming through the stereo speakers... weird. I hooked up the code reader with the key set to on, but without the engine running and then turned the code reader on. In this condition, the code reader couldn't even establish a link with the car. So I started the engine again, plugged in the code reader and again POP-POP-POP-POP-POP over the speakers... well i put up with it just because I only had one code to clear.
Ever since then, each morning the clock on teh factory radio says 6:00AM when my wife leaves (at noon!) to go to work. The radio works, teh car starts, everything is just fine... except it's almost like the clock resets itself or looses power momentarily overnight. This has happened two mornings in a row.
This is really weird. I am hoping that this clock/code reader weirdness is just a coincidence. In any case, anyone ever heard of this? Any ideas?
