Removed my battery 6 months ago to work on the car, when i eventually get round to refit, will it have forgotten my blackjax code, remote codes etc?
If so, can i disable blackjax to get it to the dealer?

I doubt it will have, I left mine for about 2 months with no battery connected. Only thing it had done was run the internal battery down...

My black jack didn't work when I had the remote start unit removed...?
Worth a try...

Sorry John, not yet put power back on, i just wondered how long the internal battery lasted to remember codes etc.

Rob, the internal battery is only in the siren, and it only gets re-charged whilst the engine is running.
The alarm itself is very unlikely to lose it's memorys. It can happen but it's very, very, very rare.
If the battery went flat whilst it was armed, or you disconnected it whilst it was off, but immobilised, you may find it will go off after a few seconds of powering it back up. If it does, don't immediatly try to disarm it, leave it sounding for about 5 seconds, then disarm.
If it was disconnected in valet mode, it will only chirp or re-connection.
