They called Bosch and then had the S5 sent out and the guys swapped it over today for me when it arrived.



Bosch battery guide: http://www.bosch.com.au/content/lang...roch_Final.pdf

So it was $190 fitted with 3 years warranty, pretty good value imo!

So now I just have to get the new battery coded, hopefully by my friendly bmw dealer under the premium complimentary servicing package
Hey DR J
I have the same battery warning when the engine is switched off and the TV is running.... How ids the Bosch S5 going....Could I ask which catalogue number/model of the S5 you fitted. There are about 25 different types..

cheers,
