Biggest issue is the free software was made to run on a very out of date PC. So you have to run in emulation mode and sometimes still mess with settings. But once the software will run on your laptop, registration is not hard. To change the type or size of battery you have to run NCSExpert and I still haven't gotten it to write the modules to my laptop.

Thanks, I'm pretty much tech lame. I was trying to load the free software from bimmergeeks onto my laptop and couldn't even do that right. So I hope they're not needed to run the app from my phone. I'll have to check out some of the threads from the BG users.
