now my car is telling me on the Idrive "increased battery discharge" What the hell does that mean? I was hoping to race around town tomorrow but now I have to deal with this. The car keeps resetting the clock as well. Any clues? Are the battery cables just loose?

Definitely check out the battery connections. It could be as simple as that... If not take it back to Dinan and have them troubleshoot it. GL

i've had the constant resetting of the clock issue too. turns out the connection to the battery wasn't tight enough after my jb3 install. so i'd start there.

Double check the battery. Make sure everything is tight.

Give it a few cycles. It'll go away within a day or two.
