Hi all, I am using Ediabas , but no "job list under the menu".... any idea?? tkx in advance.

Register Battery:

1. Open Tool32
2. Datei > SGBD, Gruppendatei Laded > Select MSD80.PRG > Click Open
3. Highlight steuern_batterietausch_registri
4. Job > Job Einmal Ausfuhren (run job once)
5. The job runs pretty quickly and the results say Job_status = okay.

Run Tool32 as admin.

[nelnel762]

tkx for the reply. However, it doesn't list the job even I run tool32 as admin!

Open the prg file using File -> Open

still not working!!

[nelnel762]

Did connect to car, but still nothing shown on the list!!!

[nelnel762]

after connect to my car...

[nelnel762]

after many researches and works, battery finally registered. Now the question is whether need to change the "VO" of the car. If VO is changed, should I still need to "code" the whole car is get the new VO works? some folks say no need, but some say yes...

please share your experience if you encounter the same, tkx in advance

Did you use a battery other than OEM?

For battery registration, you only need to write the new VO to CAS. Any other questions feel free to post'em, I just did this myself.

Partially true... If the battery specs changed (which I'm assuming they did, because you modified your VO), then you also have to change the value listed in CAS. Especially if you went from a non-AGM to AGM and vice-versa. Simply changing the VO isn't enough (which actually does nothing alone).

Of course, that's the reason why I asked if he used something other than OEM. At the same time, I was just answering his question on whether CAS was the only module that needed the new VO, OP said he was unsure if he had to write the new VO to the entire car or just the CAS.

But! While we're both on the subject, and for everyone's future reference: the tool32 job everyone mention only covers a new battery that is AGM and OEM-spec, and it seems people get confused that they only need to run the tool32 job. If you switch to a different battery group, or non-AGM, or anything other than exact OE-spec, you have to write a new VO and change the CAS settings. To find your aH, divide your battery's reserve capacity by two, then add 16, it's a close enough formula. For new CAS setting options, here they are:

KLASSE_BATTERIE
46ah
55ah
70ah
80ah
90ah
110ah
40ah_agm
60ah_agm
70ah_agm
80ah_agm
90ah_agm

and for the VO:

E B046                  BATT_46AH                         //46 Ah-Batterie
E B055                  BATT_55AH                         //55 Ah-Batterie
E B070                  BATT_70AH                         //70 Ah-Batterie
E B080                  BATT_80AH                         //80 Ah-Batterie
E B090                  BATT_90AH                         //90 Ah-Batterie
E A070                  BATT_AGM_70AH                 //70 Ah-AGM Batterie
E A080                  BATT_AGM_80AH                 //80 Ah-AGM Batterie
E A090                  BATT_AGM_90AH                 //90 Ah-AGM Batterie

I double-tap and write the new VO to CAS and FRM, but Joe if you could give input on if just CAS if fine or not, I believe that's the main thing OP is unsure of. Probably went overboard explaining it, but hopefully it helps others in the future.

Maybe I can share more color. I first change CAS for new non OEM battery (agm80), and Registered new battery via tool32. I used INPA to verify both ah and km shown under MSD80 are corrected. However, I didn't change VO though....

Question is do I still need to do VO change? and why?

If VO change is needed, do I need to code all modules of the car? Some folks here mentioned need to do so after coding VO. Mine is e90 in this case.

Tkx again for your feedback

[Levanime]

if you dont change VO
when you will recode CAS in future with blank .MAN (if you will) it will revert back to old battery type

Ic. Thanks for answering the first part of my question. Now do I need to code entire car for new VO to get activate? Pls share how to do it, tkx

Just do FA_WRITE to CAS and FRM, with the -A080 instead of what is listed in your VO right now.

PDF attached for how to do VO/FA write.
