Hello Mark, thanks for sharing the video! After the new battery being installed, the programming has to be done to let the ECU know that the car getting a new battery. If this does not get done, the car ECU would still think the battery was old, and the battery might get overcharged. It might result in pre-mature failure for the charging alternator and the new battery. Thanks, Edward Wang
Just got my 2015 x5 battery replaced did it myself . Funny there’s two batteries in the trunk . The main big battery and a smaller one , go figure. Anyway took it to European car dealer and they reset it for $44 dollars . Hope this helps.
Thanks for the instructional video. I bought a 95ah battery from Costco and it installed perfectly into my 2011 X6. I then used Carly to register the new battery. Afterwards all that was required was a new time set and short drive to set the 4x4. Easy.
Just completed 2014 X5 battery replacement with a H9-AGM battery. No any warning and registration reqirement prompted. Every thing works as before. Thanks.
Mark, you had mentioned your battery failed many times due to glow plug system. May be because you didn’t program the battery? The system will overcharge the battery and kill it early
I didn't register the battery to the car. The intelligent battery sensor blew up and cost me about 800CAD to fix it ( 500 the sensor plus 300 diagnostic and labour )
Performed this yesterday, there will be codes that pop up even if you did everything right, but they will go away after your first drive. But you Will and Should visit your dealer or factory trained tech for a battery reset! Even they company (Excide) where I bought my battery recommended this.
You need to register the new battery in the ECU. And if the amps are different you'll also have to code it. Otherwise your battery lifetime is under risk.
Yes it must be programmed via the scan tool, if not you will have issues in the long run because these vehicles use an intelligent battery system or IBS which is what that big red unit is on top of the battery.
Hallo I have a question, more like help lol, I tried jumping my battery because of the cold weather, from the back inside the trunk I did it twice the first time it worked out got it charged and started, the second time tried doing it the same way and I tried to start it and the dash and center triangle lights were just flickering, and the key piece got stuck inside ignition, I have a e70 x5 2007, do you know what I did wrong, could it be the battery not getting any juice anymore when I charge it.
Interesting and detailed video for a battery change. +1 As a fellow e7x owner, dont forget to code your bootlid to close upon any signal than just the trunk button. It's so s*****
Forgot the most important part, if you don’t code the new battery into the computer it will fry it. The car thinks it’s a 5 year old battery and will overcharge it.
Hi Mark, I had my 2012 bmw x5 battery fail in our recent minus 30+ deg C weather. It was down outside for about a week. When it warmed up I finally got it inside and replaced the battery with a new AGM. Everything went well, thanks to your video, but now I has a “passenger restraint system failure” message and air bag light on. I think this is likely due to the bad battery - low voltage. I tried scanning with my OBD 2 scanner but nothing. Do you have any experience with this and how to fix?
Hi Vince l, sometimes after driving the car a few miles, these faults disappear. Also, you may need to get the battery coded so the computer life resets.
I have a 2009 BMW X5 and I installed a new battery with no programing or registering and the car is just fine. I tal;k to a BMW Tech and told me thatb the 2009 you don't need to program it.
Mark, you do good videos but really lack the technical knowledge to prevent others from making horrible mistakes. Appreciate it but you REALLY need to show folks following technical bulletins. Physically replacing the battery is easy but as others have commented, which you fail to reply or acknowledge, ensuring proper programming is key to long battery life.
Thank you so much for sharing this useful amazing tip. What is the black steel long with BMW located at the socket next to the Battery. I brought used car, i don’t have it. Thanks Jay
what about coding new battery? your car need to now you have put new battery as there is inteligent charging system. Failure to do this will cost you new battery soon
Monika is correct. You have to have someone with BMW systems access and Reset the battery charging Logic board. So that it charges the new battery a lower rate than an old battery. Right now the board is charging the battery at a higher rate because the last battery was dying and old.
I did this on my own, bought program on eBay with interface cable, search for video on TH-cam on the instructions for BMW DIS. You will need a system with Windows7 though. Dealer charges $50, but it’s a 1 minute job.
You forgot about very important stuff. When you change for new battery you MUST do the battery adaptation in your computer using the OBD port. Otherwise you vehicle will not know about new battery installed and you can damage the battery very quick.
There's a small black tab in the center of the truck door (inside the car). If you pop it out it will have a metal cord attached to it. You have to a good pull. Once that tab is placed back or is not being actively pulled, the door locks again.
Don't know if it's the same as a 2007 X5, but I recently replaced the washer reservoir (and pumps) in my 2011 x5m. Apparently it's fairly common to have algae growth in the tank and it clogs up the pumps (there are two pumps - one for windshield washer, the other for high pressure headlamp washer). It was quite an effort to get access to the reservoir (inside the front right wing, aft of the wheel well. You'll need to remove the wheel well covers, wheel well surround, you'll have to loosen the front wing, also the whole front end / bumper (both sides), also the rocker panel (under the doors) on right side as well as the windshield weather strip where it meets the wing. It's a considerable amount of work but entirely do-able if you're careful and deliberate. Far better than bringing it to a bmw dealer - my experience is that anything done at dealer workshop is extremely expensive (at least on an M). Biggest obstacle was the fear of getting started. Genuine parts (the reservoir and pumps) can be purchased at auto parts at a fraction of the cost at BMW parts center.....and order a box of plastic push-snaps online.
Start the engine to see ANOTHER trouble code I see--I just watched the other video and saw the tach. acting very erratic. Probably not a cheap battery as most diesel vehicles have a very high CCA. I put a new 800 CCA battery in my Jeep from Walmart and it was 100.00 to replace the Optima red top that barely lasted 4 years, I feel those are overrated and only better for certain applications I used to live in NY where it's 0 degrees and now in NC it was 10 last night, but what about 'global warming'???

Thank you very much and you are right so that’s a great message for anyone doing this repair.
How exactly do you program the new battery?

What about ventilation tube??

Alot of people commenting about programming. Is there programming involved or any other thing thats missed out after installing a new battery?
Yes it must be programmed via the scan tool, if not you will have issues in the long run because these vehicles use an intelligent battery system or IBS which is what that big red unit is on top of the battery.

Japanese car connect it back and drive but I heard on BMW you need to program it pls let me know thanks
Connect the negative terminal last of all ! Keeps everything safe whilst using tools around the battery
For sure, thanks for watching.
I used the Carly app to reset the battery, highly recommended if you DYI or get it done outside the dealer.
Mark, I hear the FRM footwell module may blow if power is interrupted. Any truth to this?
What is the name of that ‘orange plastic T-shape’? How and where do I order that? Mine is missing in my trunk.
Thank you

Can I register it with a cheap scan tool or does it have to be the one from the stealership?
Thanks for the video. No vent line?

Is it possible to fit a dual battery system in a E70 x5 without confusing the ECU?
Thank you!.
Cheers
Thank you so much for sharing this useful amazing tip. What is the black steel long with BMW located at the socket next to the Battery. I brought used car, i don’t have it. Thanks Jay
I’m curious too !
When you changed the battery did you have to register your battery? Great video.
Yes you do
Is there a video on changing out the power steering pump on a 2008 e70?
What about the program....need a program computer or something like that when do you change the battery....tanks
You can use inpa to register new battery. It's easy task, just go to engine and then ibs power management, next use register battery change
Just want to know how reliable are these x6? Planning to buy 2010 model.
When replacing the 07-13 x5 battery, do I need to take the x5 to the dealer to get it recognized to the vehicle?
It really should be coded. There are aftermarket options too
Ppl don’t forget to register your battery...it’s not a option..it’s a must
how do you register a battery
Charles Feagin you need a scan tool to register it..or find someone you know that has one.
@@kethaspittah06 do you mean a obd2 scanner?
phewyl yes but it has to be BMW specific.
Thank you ! I'm doing this on my 2013 X5 tomorrow :-) Great tutorial .
What type of model battery will fit
A bmw E70 x5
Thanks brow
my e70 X5 needs a new battery. time and date reset every time I leave it for a while. so annoying
And you never charge the battery?
Great job. Thank you

@@charleschenhua Hey Charles, Can you post the Ebay and youtube link? Dealer charges way too much for a simple E70 battery change! Thanks in advance
@@lollipopmyfavor Search you tube for register BMW battery and view a few video before you start.
Do we need to register the new battery or not ???
Yes
I’ve been told that you need to register your battery
I heard that you need an auxiliary 12 v battery hook up so not to mess with the computers
Nah, not needed, just need to drive straight for few meters and do full turns on the drive wheel and all errors are gone.
How much is that battery?
You forgot about very important stuff. When you change for new battery you MUST do the battery adaptation in your computer using the OBD port. Otherwise you vehicle will not know about new battery installed and you can damage the battery very quick.
Why not show the actual removal?
where is the emergency boot opening at the back
There's a small black tab in the center of the truck door (inside the car). If you pop it out it will have a metal cord attached to it. You have to a good pull. Once that tab is placed back or is not being actively pulled, the door locks again.
Give me your pizza....lool
It is very dangerous to leave off the vent tube. I can't believe you didn't mention it.
Thanks and yes
Don’t you have to register the battery or recoding it
yes
My BMW X5 2007 needs to fix the screen washer tank anyone knows how please
Many thanks to u all

How much did you pay for battery?
They are about $200.
Couldn't just make it straight forward could they...🤦🙄
You failed to REPROGRAM the system, very bad!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t you have to program it all
Yes
Cause I just bought a used 2014 X6 M now I am fucking regret it German cars are garbages not reliable like Japanese car
any video show how to program the ecu sir?

what fucking battery is
Thanks
u have to register the battery or it will be damaged. u have no idea what ur talking about.
Thanks Brian
I don’t have any problem other than that I can’t select max edrive; it says max max edrive is not available
