the batts gone off so Im gonna take the batt off...then realised i aint got the radio code and got no idea on the alarm, heard sumthing bout the hicas goin off if batt off too

I got a cheapo solar trickle charger...can i slot the solar charger into the lighter socket then take off the batt? then put another batt in

Is the solar charger enuf to keep the radio and the ecu and the hicas when the batt is off?

sorry for dumb question but need your help

afaik, as long as the wheels are pointing dead straight everything will be ok.
it was something to do if the wheels are turned and the battery is replaced it messes up the rear steering.

You cannot use a solar charger through the lighter socket - that is an ignition feed only, not a permanent feed. I doubt it would supply enough power anyway.

The car will only draw as much power as it needs. I *think* doing it like that would not be a problem.

Just be very very careful with the battery leads when taking out the old one and putting in the new one; don't want to short it out!

Yep; make sure the leads don't touch anything, including the chassis metalwork etc.
