Does anyone have the Carly for BMW app and adapter that can code a battery?

So unfortunately electrical gremlins have started creeping up on my car and based off thrown codes, troubleshooting and research, I believe a large portion of it is due to my battery. Which has gone the test of time, as we past 4.5 years, but sadly needs to go.

Called the dealership for a price quote and straight up almost laughed on the phone when the lady quoted $420.00. I'm not paying someone $220 to install and code a battery. So here I am, asking my loving community if they have the app to save me of the hassle and nonsense that is the stealership.

If you have the app and adapter and are willing to help, let me know. We'll meet up when it's most convenient for you and obviously I'll make the trip to where you are.

If nobody has it, it's not a big deal, I'll just grab the app myself, but was trying to limit the amount of downtime. Still have to order the adapter and have it shipped from Amazon.

Anyways, if you know of a better way, or a local shop that's willing to do it for cheap (like $20) ... etc etc, let me know, it'll be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

LOL thank you soooooo much TWiTCHY, but ironically I decided to divert my funds to another project (getting my diff rebuilt with 4.10 gearing and new LSD) and figured I'd take care of the battery afterwards. So I'm good for now, but your help and Aha's help is greatly appreciated.
