    Excellent, detailed, and the best video available for BMW battery coding and replacement. Thank you Sir for providing such a great video.

    I want to let you know that I've watched many, many videos, "many videos" about coding with NCS, and your videos are by far the easiest and the only one that I can actually watch through and remember the steps on the program others I have to watch while I'm doing the steps and I still get lost.. you're an excellent teacher! thank you

    Many thanks for the video! Helped me change the capacity. The previous owner of my car replaced the battery with a 100Ah and did not register it. Since I own an E60, the battery data is held in the CAS. 85Ah was held in the CAS. I was not able to change it to 100Ah but it is now 110Ah. Again, many thanks!

    Yo, Boss I have coded from 90ah to 90ah_agm
    And diagnostic computer cant see anything, should I do like IT was at begining in your video. I mean 90ah and 90ah agm, both together?

  • @drewreyes851

    How were you able to change it to 100AH, when executing the JOB, it would only work with either 90AH or 110AH changed in the MAN file.

    Hi there. Fantastic video!!! Is there any chance you know if it is possible to enter a battery type that is not listed in NCS expert? For example I have a 105ah AGM battery but this is not on the list. Can I simply edit the text file directly like you show in the video with the 100ah example? Thank you!

      Cause BMW dont know those capacites. You have to code 110ah or 90ah AGM/WETCELL, I had same problem with 100ah wetcell.

    WHen you execute the coding, you reminded us to have the battery fully charged. Is the engine running when you code, or is in only on AUX mode?

      @@eldomart only true if the engine is running. Alternator is 14v . It's good practice to have a charger connected while coding. It's mandatory while programming. For coding and short jobs even a 5 amp charger is helpful. For programming modules which takes a long time.. 20 amp or more is recommended.

    This did not work for me. I followed another video instead. I believe the only difference was this: At 6:45 I believe you should choose execute job(F3), not read Ecu (F4). This was the only difference I noticed between your process and the one which worked for me on my E60. Thanks.

      @@colassolorzano6353 I didn't change any parameter. If you have right now a none AGM battery and you want to put in a AGM battery then you have to change it.
      I think this 5 Ah is not that much and its also ok if your battery has a bigger capacity than the parameter in NCSExpert.

If you don't understand why he is using Windows XP and you find this video confusing, do not attempt to use professional coding software on your car, chances are you will brick one of your ECU's... you should consider getting your BMW dealer, alternatively buy Carly or a Foxwell NT510 to register a new battery!
