Question for Michael B - Factory reset?

[MOPARado]

I'm under the assumption all a factory reset does is re-sets the menu options back to their original factory settings.
Is that correct? Does the reset do anything more than that?

Resets to Factory settings yes. Also refreshes the software and firmware. I do a factory reset every few months.

It resets the software to the factory default settings so you do not have to do them manually if you had made a lot of changes.

I suppose if the unit gets stuck in some odd mode, a factory reset may clear it.

I would think a power cycle, power-on reset should do the same!

The menu settings on the other hand, i'll geuss are stored in some kind of non-volitale memory. If that gets hosed somehow, then yeah a factory reset should fix it.
