Lol so they get paid! Most will not do it themselves and will bring it back to dealer for change and coding

Where do I go to see when the current battery was registered? Or any other info about it?

Thanks.

INPA's IBS menus contain info that tells you both the current coding and registration history.

I thought INPA doesn't work with the newer model BMWs?
Someone told me this as I tried coding my 08 M3 and while performing the initial airbag test I couldn't get it to work and another member said to just skip it since INPA doesn't work with newer models?

You can skip the airbag error message as many also get this error. The newer cars INPA cannot register the battery. Tool32 can if u use the same OEM battery. If you change to aftermarket battery then you would need to use NCSexpert and then tool32. Do a search there is a PDF on this.
