Code and Register BMW Battery Replacement - Using OBDLink MX BimmerLink BimmerCode iPhone & Android

[@PH-md8xp]

Excellent video, thanks. Need to do this on my 2018 X3. Also ended up buying a battery with a different Ah rating than the original BMW battery.

[@NKPGarage]

Thanks for the support! It’s so easy to do yourself. Even with a battery that’s slightly different in size.

So wish i had watched this yesterday. Went with friend to get new battery at stealership. Had a 7:30 am appointment. 4 1/2 hours later we got the car back. $277 labor, $345.21 battery. $656.73 total. To top it all off they wanted $233.xx for a wheel speed sensor PLUS LABOR. I bought that off of Amazon for $18. I could buy it locally for about the same price. Its a 30 minute job to replace. The hardest part is removing the wheel. Im totally wrecked after having to wait 4 1/2 hours for a battery replacement and oil change. Pretty sure The bmw dealership in Tuscaloosa, AL just lost a valuable customer for shitty service and outrageous stealership rip off prices.

[@NKPGarage]

Oh man. Sorry to hear that. I agree, the dealership prices are getting outrageous

[@B.DZ92]

Great instructional ! Very thorough explanation of steps ! Thanks for sharing 🤙🏽

[@NKPGarage]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!

Hi bro, nice video...but can u also show me how to change and register battery on the new Mercedes CLA 200 AMG for instance. Thx a lot

[@NKPGarage]

The only Mercedes I have in the garage right now is our EQS. Next time we get a gas powered Mercedes I'll definitely make sure to do a video on the battery registration process on it.

[@utube5361]

@NKPGarage Thanks man, but most importantly as well is please let us know what kind of software and from where / how u get it

[@MatoHR]

Hello, as i read and see,if you purchase identical battery as orginal you dont need to code it, you just need to register it

[@NKPGarage]

Yup, that is correct. You just register it if it is identical specs.

[@MatoHR]

@@NKPGarage i was having ORGINAL bmw 12v 80ah 800a agm and now i buy varta silver dynamic agm 12v 80ah 800a i this this is identical as orginal

[@NKPGarage]

@@MatoHR Yes, that should be the same. So all you have to do is register the new battery.

[@kaden.orenji]

Excellent video, just wanna check because right now the replacement battery I got everywhere is DIN 92 for my F30, so do I just keep the same 90 Ah battery and just register a new battery with Bimmerlink?

[@NKPGarage]

Yup, you got it! That's all it takes.

[@adri.khaz.6290]

If the newer battery is different specification than the original one older battery, do you press same or different capacity/type? Because the first app you select type of battery and the second app might reflect the change I guess, but do you still press different capacity/type? I’m planning to buy the device and apps so before making a mistake your help is much appreciated instead of going a mechanic and spend god knows how much 😅. Thanks First time potential user

[@NKPGarage]

If your new battery is a different capacity you definitely need to change the setting while programming the new battery in.

Eski akü de yeni akü de 70ah. Kodlama yapmak gerekiyor mu?

[@NKPGarage]

If they're both 70ah you can just register it.

I’m here for the 80 but enjoy your other how to videos…I’ve always liked the 7 series. Do you have a scanner that’s good for a obd2 fzfe 80?

[@NKPGarage]

More 80 updates soon hopefully 🙂 For the 80 series, or really any daily driver or a vehicle you take roadtrips in, where you want to keep track of health statistics, gauges, MPG, and other stats, the app I like is called "DashCommand". For troubleshooting and general diagnostics my go to app for easy diagnostics with the bluetooth OBD2 adapter and my cellphone is "OBDLink"
