  Hi Everyone,
  
  I will be going overseas for 10 days and will be leaving my car at the carpark for this period of time. Will I have problem starting my car when I am back home. Some of my friends told me to disconnect one of the battery plug whereas some of my friends told me its okay to leave it as it is. Can the experts out there give me some advice. Many thanks in advance for your kind input.

  Get someone to start your car maybe once a week, and let the engine run say 3, 5 mins. Make sure your good friend don't drive your car without a licence.

  dun just crank up the car and then off it. let the engine run for a few minutes or drive around to recharge the battery. for a while.

  from wat i heard.. its better not to disconnect the battery personally.. cos it might cos the car security system to reset or smth.. and mayb u need to tow it back to the service center to set it back or smth..

  Yes, unplugging will reset the memory of the security system and your sound systems.
