Hello, are you still very active? This was impressing btw I watched a bunch of times overnight

For everyone here for coding skip to 14:12 You’re welcome

Now I know what my mechanic was talking about; registering the battery. He wants $400 for a battery change on my 5 series. Now I see why. Thanks for making this video available. It helps a lot.

Perfect! As usual and perfect timing I was getting the battery discharge high for about a week. Bit the bullet and took my led acid out and replaced with an agm. Thanks BMWFINATIC

I always replace my batteries after 4 years in the fall. Had to do that “when it’s f****** zero” one too many times. Just decided it would be on my terms after pulling a battery by sled two miles so I could go to work. Great video!

Nice DIY! I replaced mine a few years ago. Batteries always choose the worst weather to die ❄️. It was about -5 the day I did mine

Just like my car! Thank You!!! My battery is almost ready for a change. Soon is going to take a hike!!!

The tie down bracket is a piece of work. I don't know how you got in screwed in so easily, everything else was a piece of cake.

After almost 9,5 years of operation, I had to change my battery of my 135i last saturday. In an E82 this is actually a lot easier and more accessible than an E90. Everything is in reach in the middle of the trunk. What I missed in your video is that you need to plug the other side of the vent opening on the battery when installing. Either take the plug from your old battery, or use the plug provided with the new battery to plug the vent hole that is not in use. There is one on either side of a battery. You plug the grey hose in the + side vent hole (9:00), bot say nothing about plugging the other hole. If you don't plug it, it could lead to venting unwanted gasses into the trunk. And registering the battery with MHD, as long as it is the same spec, is ridiculously simple and quick.

Discovered this and watched it this morning in the hope it could help me do mine... my stop start was hit and miss and getting worse over past 2 weeks...seemed flat when ignition kicked in, sometimes failed..Local garage said it needs to be registered which is that scan tool i assume and is prob worth investing in. Great video just need to try and find one in uk.

Thanks! This was super helpful, dude! Got it done with ease!

Thank you very much! I was really needing it, replaced my 335i battery and did not registered it, it is already failing, only lasted two months

Great DiY man!👌

watched your vid 3x and swapped mine in 20min. thx

For all the DIY videos you’ve posted do you normally remove the negative connection on the battery before performing engine work? Not sure if it’s needed to do spark plugs, injectors, etc. I’ve been religiously following your videos and you’ve given me the courage to start work on my n54 e90 but something I’ve been pondering, worrying about possible shock. Pretty sure I’m spooking myself here. Thanks and keep the vids coming!

Great video and thanks for sharing your Knowledge.In the statement you made at the top and your ran into a BMW TECHNICIAN he made the following comments " as long as the CCA and Amp hours are the same, the computer doesn't need to tell the alternator anything different." Yet you still registered the battery.Why? Using the Bavarian software how do you confirm the battery has been registered?

JUST MESSIN DUDE THAT WAS A GREAT VIDEO !!!!!

I changed my battery in my e90 325i about 2-3 months ago, should i still re-registrate it or should i just go on and not care about it? My prior battery was faulty(random lights started flickering/car sometimes didnt even start) all that was fixed and havent had a problem since! Should i just ignore it? I live in sweden so it gets prettu cold in the winter.

Hi great video! Is it possible to register the battery with the bimmer brain if the blue tooth module is faulty?

Got a question for you that I can’t find info on, thinking you might have that knowledge. Going to replace my daughters X3 F25 battery, wondering if I place a battery charger on the connection point under the hood and then remove the battery will that same all her memory items in her car, yes I will protect the positive cable in the trunk not to short it out. Just wondering to save some time reprogramming , radio, seat and such. Then I can just register the battery with my Carly.

The following comment was made to me by a BMW mechanic at the dealership when I was purchasing my battery: “No need to waste money registering the battery if it’s an exact replacement“. That was over 4 years ago and my electrical system is just fine.

THANK YOU for the explanation of the little connector at 11:00! I thought I missed connecting it to something and found the explanation of it on your video!

Nice video but I do have a question, did you have to enter any information for the new battery?

So while it’s on how do I check if the alternator is working properly?

If I just want to reset the car by removing the negative terminal to see if a turn signal issue resolves do I need to register the battery. It is only a year and a half old

hey man I’m a noob and was wondering bmw has got 2 batteries right? so are we suppose to always replace a new one for the back and keep the front one?

Awesome. Thanks for this. Much appreciated. I have a new 2021 M630 I . Have a doubt. Can I register with Carly coder? Pls let me know.

Great video. Will the car run with a new battery that is not programmed to the car? Like an AGM aftermarket one from advance autoparts?

I am interested in the Bavarian technic scan tool? which one did you get?

Great video, thanks. Looked into the hardware/software though....$200. Might as well take to my local independent. Any other options for a 2012 535 i that don't involve too many hoops?

do we need to have backup battery and connecting before remove(old battery) and install (new battery)?

Can the battery registration be done with INPA?

Would you need to code the battery if you're putting on the same model/type of battery

Can you please provide us with the link of the software to reset the battery. Thank you.

Good info!

I used Carly for BMW app on an Android phone. It's a little expensive, but overall cheaper than going to the dealer. It allows the user to monitor lots of parameters, check fault codes, reset them, code multiple functions, etc. It's not perfect, sometimes frustrating, but it works. Oh and you can do it wirelessly with a bluetooth adapter.

Which one/ programmer do I need for my 745i?? That up to 3 VIN=$287.00?? Thanks=) Eero from Florida

Many questions after this video: you can do the registration with INPA, ISTA or NCS Expert and a generic OBD. Besides, you dont say how much time you must have the car turned on the first time so that the ECU measures correctly the SoH (state of health) of the battery. You dont cover as well whether to charge the new battery before installing it. It can be as low as 60%.

Don’t you need to enter the Amp hour for the battery? I have seen that in other videos. Thanks

Hey BMW Fanatic! I could use some help if possible lol. Do you know if the Bavarian technic Basic single vehicle kit has the option for registering a new battery?? Or is it just the enthusiast and professional kits? Cant get ahold of them until Monday so I figured I would ask. I need to replace the battery on my 08 e90 asap lol

Where do you buy the battery? Also what is the importance of resetting the battery with computer?

is it possible to remove cells from individual packs without harming them?

I also wanted to go with an OEM BMW battery on my 2010 BMW Z4 however I found that the Odyssey was a far better Battery than the OEM battery and my Ancel BM700 had no problem registering it.

So when I connected mine, they wanted to know more information about the car, ABS system, Transmission, ABS/DSC and Airbag. I have a 2005 325Ci, so what should my settings be in Bavarian? Please help

Great to no that it can be done remotely. If you disconnect battery to reset modules , will it reset my factory alarm , In a 2008 525i n52k msport ? Cheers

What if you replace it with a battery that is different specs than what was removed?

My bmw 335i e92 battery died. I removed ,charged at local mechanics and now about to put back in,same battery. Do you need that blue and black plugs removed from the plastic before you connect the positive? I removed my positive with all plugs still in the plastic bit. Just wondering if its safe to connect everything regarding positive side all at once,and then the negative.

Where'd you buy your battery...great job!!

My 2006 325i lost power it starts up but does not go faster then 10mph n has the battery light on can someone help me out.

that sounds smart, however he said to do a "register" so it doesn't think you are running on a 4 year old battery, so maybe that's why he did the reset. IDK, maybe someone who does know can chime in...

Is it normal to need the junction box to be replaced? BMW is claiming mine is blown.

someone said u have to plug in a 9 volt battery to cig lighter to hold the cars memory before u take out battery is this true?

If you don’t use an OEM battery and there’s no place for a vent line what do you do?
