i been reading on the n54tech and e90post website, i dont have a BT tool but they say you can replace for and new battery and register it?

in the BT tool, you can run service function "Register battery replacement"

Any members with a BT tool, chime in, is there a service funtion like this?

I was just quoted this moring $400.00 by the dealer to replace and register a new battery??

burger tuning is located in the SFV and IIRC they use their BT for a small fee.

You can also check with LT BMW (vendor on e90posts. You can also check with EAS

I have the BavTech Scan tool, purchased it and a new battery. Came out cheaper than a dealer visit too. Now i have tool to check and clear codes and perform service resets and much more. Nice GUI interface too.

Interesting. There is another thread on this forum that quotes a letter from BavTech that states they do not support battery registration. Could you please give specific details on which menu in BavTech gives you this capability?

Thanks.

Battery registration w/ Dealer - after you install the battery yourself, ask them how much they will charge for reg, typically they will say 1 hour of labor, but you can tell them it doesn't take that long, and they will do it for 1/2hr labor charge.
