Do not let anybody use battery back up on the car when
changing batterys it blows the OBD/Instrument cluster fuse
and does not back up anything anyway.
Do not close the trunk with the battery out.(electric trunk lock)
As long as you get a lead battery with equivalent form(49/h8)
factor and amp hour rating you can buy a battery anywhere.
Some people get them at walmart.
don't let autozone or any place like that change the battery
you are risking the car if you do.
And you need to find another Indy it should be at least
100 dollars cheaper at an Indy. I can't see how they would
be charging dealer prices for this service that takes them no
more than a half hour at most.

Most of the threads on this are on the general and coding subforms by the way.

Registration
!)Buy the Carly app and do it yourself and have diagnostic
and coding ability for something like 110.
2)Buy a coding cable and invest a bunch of time in downloading and setting up coding software.
3 )Pay no more than 50 bucks at and Indy to register
the battery.
4)Find a coder in your area the will do it maybe for free

It takes no more than 10 minutes to do this most of which
is plugging in the cable and finding the menu in the software.
