I bought a cheap one at Advance Auto Parts - the kind that plugs into the cigarette lighter. It doesn't work at all on the Z; probably a waste of time/money.

It didn't work because the Z's power outlets are off until the ignition turns on, plus when the battery is removed, it has no power....

The best 'memory saver' is one that plugs into the OBDII port and has it's own external power source. Like SouthArk says, the time to reset the radio and the windows is minimal, so why worry about a memory saver?
