Yeah, I actually have a non-OEM battery in there that I surprisingly have never noticed. I bought the car two years ago, and I guess the previous owner had already replaced the battery with this one. I'll definitely start my research on a new battery.
Thanks for the info Antti. I'll give it a go later this evening. If I remember correctly, when I was trying to access the satellite modules, I was getting the error about not being able to communicate. I thought that maybe it's because I am currently experiencing the stupid TCU issue

Bah, no go.
Even when I clear all errors through Functional job, it still doesn't work. When I clear it, is the errors on the cluster suppose to go away? Because it doesn't
Also, I noticed that I don't have "power module" under Body. Kind of confused here

Here's my guess about what's going on...
I think that because of a bad battery, the conneection to the one (or more than one) module has been cut. The result:
- error in the idrive
- no possibility to read and clear the error through INPA
Last time when I got the "Passenger restraint system error" and when I tried to clear the error memory, the connection to the "Satellite B-pillar module" kept cutting along the process, and I wasn't able to clear the error code. Then I put the trickle charger on overnight and next morning after startoff the error was gone by itself.

Antti, if it's not too much trouble, can you take a look at which version of INPA you have?
I just looked at mine this morning, and mine is v5.0.2.
Reason I ask is because I don't understand why I don't have Power Module in the list under Body. (Meaning I wouldn't be able to register battery)

I know the registering can be done with the DIS though.

You guys mentioned the "Body module" which the BAV tool has on their list so I figure there might be some common correlation there:
