I linked it in a post above. You need a K+DCAN INPA compatible coding cable, though. This is the exact one I have and use:

We can meet up sometime next week and I can do it for you for free.

I mentioned to Benvo in passing about my battery and coding when conversing about other coding and he mentioned that he could do it, but when I told him that I was going to use the BMWLogger software and do it myself, he just said, "okay" and didn't mention anything else needed to be done.
I will, however, verify w/him and post what he says.

My question to him: "Question regarding battery registration: The BMWLogger software has a "New Battery Registration" option that I used to register my new battery. Do I need to do anything else?"
MB's response: "You would have to ask them as I didn't write the software, but I presume that's all that is required."
