Need Battery Help

thd13 · 11-10-2011, 01:19 PM

Hi Guys,

I need to replace my battery soon and am thinking ahead about where to get it registered. Anyone in the DC/Baltimore area with a Bav Tech tool and want to help a brotha out? I can offer beer, pizza, or even cash for your time.

Or anyone know of an Indy shop that can register a battery on the cheap?

Thanks!

I ended up going to BMW excluservice in Rockville. It was about $80 with install and I think it would have been $40-50 for just registering. Took all of 30 mins tops for both my install and register. They seemed like nice guys too.

I'm in the Richmond area with a cable and can help members with this. Haven't done it myself just yet but after searching the forums it doesn't look difficult if you have the cable

I ended up going to the dealer for the battery and coding only. I did the install myself.
very easy. look at the DIY section. saved 1/2 of what the dealer wanted.
