Incorrect Battery Ah Coded

That moves me closer to learning PC based coding. At least Foxwell gives you updates for free so it will be able to do what it does until it breaks. It is a bit clumsy to update and you have to remember to check for updates, but, no big deal.

Yea $100 isn't going to change my life, but, no one wants to spend it if not necessary - or on something more fun than battery coding.

Saving up for the Prius also.

I wonder why people like you buy a BMW?

The brand has a history of high operational cost and dismal reliability. When you buy a BMW be prepared for all sorts of horrors. If a miserable $100 can solve or ameliorate any problem, spend it.

I think I've explained why and what I'm doing.

When I first got on this forum there was someone who stood out as being a strident a-hole who sometimes skipped his meds.

That was something like Rooty van Tooty. Hmmmmm!

Coded my car for the 80ah battery using NCSExpert. The coding part was pretty easy with all the tutorials on the forums and YouTube. Thanks to bNks334 for his DIY.

Getting the Std Tools suite up and running was more of a chore. It got to be one of those 'I ain't giving up' things and was actually fun.

The VO is still 90ah but I don't think that will matter unless I get any software updates done. In that case I'll just have to remember to re-code.

Since opinions were more or less divided on whether to worry about running an 80ah battery with the car coded for 90ah I'm certainly not worried about the roughly 120 miles put on the car since changing the battery.
