It seems to be a random occurence with some vehicles.
When outdoor temperatures reach -20 celcius or below, the temperature control heads seem to reset themselves for no apparent reason. Essentially it will change all your settings to default when you start your car back up the next morning. I've only seen this in about 30% of vehicles produced out there.
Strange.

Yup - happens to my 08 regularly - but I have no remote start on the manual so it is only a minor annoyance.

We have the remote start on the 09 but fortunately the EATC reset doesn't happen to that one.

Mark - is there a fix for it yet?
