Hi Sir, You changed last digital from 0 to 1 that is different number with the picture you took from the battery and why the test is still successful? Do you need change it back to 0 or not? many thanks.
Wow I came back from a deployment a few years ago to a dead battery and had no idea I was supposed to reprogram it. This would of saved me from having to buy a whole new battery almost 6 months later. Thanks for the videos guys!
Great video. Addressed every single question that I had about changing the battery in my A4. The dealership wants 1 hr of labour to recode. Seems absurd after having watched this.
They could just as easily have a reset function, like the oil change and Inspection reset. The system just needs to know that the part is new. The fact that they look for part#, vendor code, and serial # is to reinforce the idea that you must have a genuine Audi part. This will work on many folks who do not know better, and go to the dealer and drop $350 on a batt that can be had for $150. I have a family member who recently went to Benz dealer for her car and way, way overpaid for a battery. And the dealer reinforced the idea with her, that you should never use a 3rd party batt in your car, " because it will cause so many problems" .... Marketing BS. Knowledge is power.
are you sure on this and that the bem code contains no information as to the battery capacity and type? (agm vs we cell, which have different voltages, and affects how much charge the car sees it needs to give...
@@wrxkyle That's a very fair point. I guess I'm thinking that you would only put an AGM, but you could do a traditional batt. and that info would indeed matter.
@@wrxkyle my car needs the part number because it contains the correct AH of the battery. I replaced my battery recently and the car wouldn't charge it past 80%. I changed the serial number in Vcds by 1 digit and the car then knew it was a new battery and allowed it to charge to 100%. The new battery would have failed prematurely as it wasn't fully charging.
Very helpful video...but my OBD app has a different screen. Is it different on an iPhone versus Android? Also, when I enter in the serial info and part number it keeps telling me "wrong entry", even if I just repost the current info. Any tips?
Requiring a serial number to change a battery is stupid, the car already knows how much voltage the alternator outputs, days and mileage since last battery service, all it needs is a “Reset Battery Life” option in the same service menu as the oil change and brake pad resets.
You can just make a serial number up. So long as the car sees a new serial number it will recognise it as a different battery. Common advice is to just change the last digit. A option in the service menu would be convenient though.
thanks for the explaination ralph. i was about to not code and i only stopped because i noticed the battery (new) was getting really hot after only a drive.
thank you for this, was wondering where to find the setting in OBD 11 to change it, one question though, do we do this before we set the car slightly on fire? is being slightly on fire step one of this process?
I changed mine right before it died! It was really low! I used a jumper to foul the computer that battery was fine and I installed the new battery! That’s was About 2 years ago and it’s still running good 👍🏻
Hi there! Well one day! I tried to start my vehicle and I did.. but barely so I knew that battery was going out.. So I got a new battery with the exact serial number.. and before I disconnected the old one.. I hooked up the jumper to the terminals tu and turned on the jumper on a boost mode! And then I disconnected the battery.. then I put the new battery hooked the terminal and removed the jumper.. and I didn’t have to program anything.. and I did it right out side the Audi dealership! when I took in the battery core! They asked me how did you do it?! Lol.. and I told him and they just huh 🤔 lol! Well it worked 🤙🏼😎
You're absolutely correct but a lot of people don't know and it does work cuz I'm a mechanic too if you have a power source plug it into the cigarette lighter make sure you have a power jump box of boost one that actually could charge to a lot of connections to connect the power source to the two terminals of the jump box and then disconnect your battery and you won't lose any of your data connected back you won't even have to program it I do it all the time
Awesome video Paul! I love seeing these S4 OBD eleven tutorials as the software interface has changed (it was different when you showed how to pull the trans temp in the dsg fluid DIY video). Would you be interested in making these OBDeleven tips into a series? I would love to see how to do certain adaptations such as the throttle body alignment/adaptation, as well as DSG calibration adaptations. Keep up the good work!
My 2011 VW CC wasn't programmed from the factory even. Later the battery was replaced for a genuine (Varta) & the dealership didn't re-program. I did it myself via VCDS, and it was much simpler than this OBD11, don't need these codes, except one correlating to battery capacity if I remember correctly.
I never knew changing an Audi battery was this complicated. Is the power management system in an Audi A4 1.8T integrated into the battery or is it a separate module that has to also be replaced when changing the battery?
My 2017 B9 A4 doesn't show "Long adaptation" in my OBDEleven menu. It only shows "Adaptation." It gives you the option to change the Amp hours (Ah), the manufacturer code and the serial number. I hope this works.
I remember visiting the local Audi tech maybe 5 years ago and he was changing a battery like this. "Will you look at this shit?" or something to the extent of that was said. I get that Germans do crazy shit, but man, a battery shouldnt be this involved to change, or am I crazy? :)
Tbh they should've made batteries last the life of the cars by now. Even Tesla is only now starting to do it for the 12V system. Lead acid technology is as old as cars are. A typical gas car could do just fine with some 20Ah lithium pack. I'm waiting to see what type of battery Tesla is going to use for functionality in colder climates.
At what point in time did it become necessary to reprogram the charge rate on an Audi car when replacing the battery and is it this procedure required on a 2011 Audi A3?
Thanks for the video! Upgraded my B8.5 to a Braille Endurance battery. The #s on the battery are not enough for the coding. So I just changed the last two digits of what was already in the system and saved it as it was accepted during the test. We shall see!
In the Audi warranty & maintenance booklet it references filling the battery at a certain mileage. Is that a hold over from Europe or are these batteries servicable?
Guys, I changed the battery on my 2012 Audi A6 without reprograming the code, which was years ago. The battery works fine and still going great! I got the battery from Costco for about $150. I don't think the coding does anything other than to scare you enough so that you pay the dealer $450 to do it. As an electrical engineer, I measured the charging voltage during charge and the end of charge. There is little Audi can do to screw up a lead-acid battery.
Hi, I have to remove the battery for an upcoming indoor car show so I will be reconnecting the existing battery. If that's the case do I need to update the info if it's still reading the info from the previous coding which would be the same battery I'd be reconnecting?
I bought a dashcam and an external battery for my 2019 Golf R. When direct connecting to the fuse panel I would assume I need to disconnect the cars battery first when dealing with the fuse panel? Will I need to recode the car if I disconnect the battery?
B7 Audi A4 Avant Quattro here, I just had my battery and stuff tested and they said i need a new voltage regulator and to replace the entire alternator. Can I get a way with just replacing the VR?
My question is not to replace but maintain when not using the vehicle, how many amps should a trickle charger to charge it have? Or is there a nice brand you’d recommend.
I'm from Mexico and I just installed a new battery in my Leon Mk3. The battery had no BEM code, but the adaptation battery only asked for Ah capacity, vendor and serial number. I changed the original efb battery for a agm battery. By the way, I changed the battery 'cause it had almost 4 years. It worked fine but the midtronics says replace battery. I prefer to replace battery before it fails.
Great video, question on an older Audi like for example on a 1998 a4 model is it also necessary to program the battery to the vehicle or is this for newer models?
I replaced my original battery to Optima AGM, Neither Autel or OBD11 is asking to input battery type (AGM) or Ah. I just inputed BEM/manufacturer/serial number, is that all that is needed to input? Does the car know the Ah and AGM change?
Battey needs to be coded because based on the voltage of the battery, the alternator will ramp up charging as the battery gets older? WHY is the car not smart enough to read the new battery and figure out the new battery has higher voltage on its own?? 🤔🤔🤔
Wonder if I could get your professional opinion. The battery in my A7 died suddenly, no slow decay, just one day wouldn't turn on and was sitting at basically 0V. After some research and decidedly not wanting to spend $400 on a battery recode, I decided to hook the car up to a charger and then hot swapped the battery while the system was running from the charger. I did this in case Audi would notice and acknowledge the disconnecting of the old battery and potentially stop me from driving with an non-official replacement; just being overly cautious. I do however have an OBD11 but did not know I could recode it myself, do you recommend this now a few thousand miles after the initial replacement?
do you suggest connecting a spare battery for the duration of the swap so that computer is still powered memory memory is not cleared? I also saw a case where the radio was asking for a code after battery was swapped. why does that happen?
How do you perform a physical boost leak test on a Mk7 GTI? I did mine incorrectly and some oil shot out my timing chain cover because I didn't leave my oil filler off. Please make a video on this .
FWIW I tried to follow this and it would not take the serial, even with the spaces and also trying to use the random # thing for the serial numbers after the mfr code. I ended up having to use may clunky hand scan tool to perform the function.
@@888red If you connect a 12V battery to the lighter plug you can change without reseting the ECM. But then you have to isolate the positive connector well when loose.
I have a OBDeleven…no pro. It lets me input the battery info but not rewrite the new battery info. Do I have to upgrade to a pro or is there a way to make the system accept the new input?
What to do if the battery has no Bem code. It say on the last part of the video. So basically just copy those number and change a couple? I tried so many scanner but none of them work. I will try this obd2 that you using. You only need to pay for that device then nothing more? Also I just want to Add. I have 2013 audi A4. The first 3 years I swapped the battery without registering it. I used autozone battery agm. They most expensive one they have $250. Believe it or not 6 years still running. After 6 years still tested good but I replaced it anyways. I just found that battery only last 3-5 years so I replaced mine eventhough still running good just to have peace of mind. Now I just need to figure out how to register autozone battery. It lasted 6 years the last time without register so I guess I’m good hopefully
im just not sure i can buy into it ... so you are saying the car can "sense" an old degraded battery and increase the power output for a dying battery .. but then again cant " sense" the output of a new battery and will overcharge it ? .. it it just me ?
I got a audi a1 sportback i want to change batt bcas start stop stopped working do i have to code new battery in it has a agm battery in but no start stop working
I have had multiple Audis. And as long as you replace the battery with same specs you don’t need to code. Never had a single issue. No codes. No ecu freaking out. Nothing. Just make sure you use AGM if your car uses that. Wet cell will mess your electronics up not to mention no way to vent the battery to outside.
mechanics are wanting to charge me $200 just for labor to "one-by-one go through the configuration of each device to setup the energy output" with their instruments. is that all really necessary or does the app + OBD automagically handle that?
Very interesting , went to Audi and was quoted 400 euros to supply and fit and code a new battery , when asked what the guarantee was they said 2 years ! How many correctly coded batteries don't last that long ?
What if I started the car before I programmed the new battery? I did the adaptation after and now the car is running like is has a vacuum leak. Please help!
I just changed my battery and the new part number is only 10 digits instead of 11 like the original battery and it says wrong value when I try to code it..any help?

This is by far the most helpful youtube channel for S4 owners. thank you
Holy crap. This is good timing. I literally just found out my old battery is near the end of its life and began looking into replacing
Great video. Addressed every single question that I had about changing the battery in my A4. The dealership wants 1 hr of labour to recode. Seems absurd after having watched this.
I mean, it does take time, its not like they will charge 1/2 hour instead of 1 hour. You pay by the hour.

Johnson Controls makes the OE battery and they make Autocraft, which has codes embossed in the plastic. It’ll work.
I put a generic battery in our Q7 and just changed one digit like you did. Seems to be ok so far. It's been about a year.
Did you not change the battery brand in the software? Or what about Ah?
@@Tinez87 it wasn’t a brand that was listed. It was an Exide. I think changing the serial number just resets the state of health calculations.

I got a audi a1 sportback i want to change batt bcas start stop stopped working do i have to code new battery in it has a agm battery in but no start stop working
I have had multiple Audis. And as long as you replace the battery with same specs you don’t need to code. Never had a single issue. No codes. No ecu freaking out. Nothing. Just make sure you use AGM if your car uses that. Wet cell will mess your electronics up not to mention no way to vent the battery to outside.
Would this be the same for a 2020 A3?
What size is that spare and would it fit in a 14 RS5?
mechanics are wanting to charge me $200 just for labor to "one-by-one go through the configuration of each device to setup the energy output" with their instruments. is that all really necessary or does the app + OBD automagically handle that?
Very interesting , went to Audi and was quoted 400 euros to supply and fit and code a new battery , when asked what the guarantee was they said 2 years ! How many correctly coded batteries don't last that long ?
What if I started the car before I programmed the new battery? I did the adaptation after and now the car is running like is has a vacuum leak. Please help!
Got it, remove all the bolts in the rear of the vehicle and install 😂.
I just changed my battery and the new part number is only 10 digits instead of 11 like the original battery and it says wrong value when I try to code it..any help?
Anyone know if this applies to older vehicles? I have a 2013 Jetta with the ccta engine
Would this reset a tune ?
Can you make a video on how to resolve electronic steering issues on the B8.5?
Do MQB VWs need to be coded too?
that’s what i’m wondering, I would assume yes but not sure.
I know that my mk7 GTI does - not sure if the rest do, but probably.
Is this applied to the Audi A4 B7?
