Battery code tool

[Mike23864]

It’s only available on later models. I had this message from Carista as I wanted it for that reason.

“It appears that the CAN gateway ECU (where the Battery registration service tool is coded) in your VW Transporter uses the old generation communication protocol (CAN). Unfortunately, we don't have Battery registration for those models at the moment. It's only available for models that use the next-generation protocol (UDS).”

Ok thanks I’ll give my local Indy vw a call

Find a member close to you who has VCDS and ask if he/she can do it for you.

Just to amuse you, when I changed my battery from the factory installed one the coding didn't match the battery!

Obd11 Pro let's you code as per vcds.

From memory the device is about 45 quid and the subscription on top is about 25 per year.

I have carista as well but it's not a patch on the obd11

Anyone on the Wirral/Liverpool/Chester with VCDS or something else to do a battery registration?
My starter battery has pretty much died from the cold weather so was going to order a replacement today.C

Hi, did Carista work for your battery registration?

 

[Mwcard]

Hi. No, it didn't. Mine is a 2017 T30 Trendline.

I’ve got a 2017 T6 too and the dealer told me a battery fit would be £375. Shopping around I see Halfords own brand AGM 115 ( reputedly a Yuasa in disguise) is £159 with £25 to fit. They can code it in too. My only concern is the battery I have now really labours. Wondering wether I should get a bigger amp version like S5 A13 Bosch. Not sure if it would fit though. Then there’s the coding in if I buy from Tayna. All a bit of a worry. Ho hum.

The S5 A13 will fit, it's a squeeze but so long as you don't have anything else taking up the space, the battery will fit in the tray.

Did you have to register the new battery?

It’s only available on later models. I had this message from Carista as I wanted it for that reason.

Havent tried it yet but I've recieved this email back from Carista..be interested if anyone has had chance to look at it yet?

 

[Grim Reaper]

Yes, I used VCDS.
There's a thread I started with all the details in it somewhere.
