Battery replacement at indy shop
I saw a message r.e. low battery charge when I shut the car off once today, but not the other time I shut the car off today. Probably time to get a new battery, and I'd rather do this proactively.
I know the dealerships charge $500 or whatever for the OEM part + reset/code. If I take it to an indy shop and ask them for the non-OEM battery (what are ppl using these days?), will they be able to code/reset the car for the new battery? How will I be able to confirm that they actually do this, rather than just plug in a new one and tell me I'm good to go... Thanks. |

Honestly I can see how people make the mistake. Everyone talks about "coding" components on these cars and gets that portion done. Nobody told me about registration until I started poking around with BimmerLink.

Changing from original AGM to for instance flooded acid (like I did) I'm assuming making coding good to do as well as AGM have higher charge voltage. Been interesting to monitor voltage since battery swap, the onboard pwr mgmt actually does things like increasing voltage significantly when surrounding temperature drops. |

The proper cable is not too expensive and handy to have anyway.
