I'm assuming I need to buy a OBDII cable and software, but obviously I want to minimize the cost. The battery cost me just over $200 with employee discount. If I can get the rest of the necessary equipment and get away with spending a total of $300 or so I am happy. Please comment if you have done it and it worked!
If you are replacing with the same type/AH battery no coding is necessary.
