INPA software guys should've built a few seconds of 'hour-glass' to make us feel like the software is doing something

You can get a battery from places like AutoZone, Advanced Auto Parts etc.. and it will save you a lot of money from going to the stealer. You can get a shop to register the battery to the car, make sure you get the battery registered it tells the car you have a new battery so the car adjusts its charging.

Hi,
Sorry to jack the thread.. but my car is also having problems and the battery light came on, albeit the car starts and stops okay, there definitely seems to be a lack of power.
Diagnostic show all clear and my mechanic used a voltmeter check the battery and it appears okay, however he indicated a possible dodgy ground, but was not 100% certain on this.
We were going to replace the battery, but the coding of the keys and system prevented us going any further; according to information provided by others, once you take the battery out everything coding wise needs resetting... is this true, if so what are the implications of this change?
Is it possible to code everything up yourself or is this strictly a main dealer job?
If somebody has some useful links that are not too technical or break things down in simple terms, that would be sincerely appreciated.
