I am in the process of buying a 35i but during the inspection it was found that the battery was in need of replacing. I have sourced a battery but reading around and there seems to be some battery coding involved. Could you guys shed some light on this for me please, does it need to be done ? Whats involved? Whats the cost ? Will the car run ok without it being coded ? Anyone do it remotely ? Thanks in advance chaps
I am collecting the car towards the end of the week and I've haggled a better deal based on me sorting the battery ! I have a few contacts in the trade so the battery is working out cheaper ! So as a reset I'm guessing the car will run ok until it's coded ?
I'm new to the world of the Z, this being my first! It's an 09 plate 35i with the 7sp double clutch gearbox all the blurb off the advert !

cheers guysI was just going to ask the question of whether it was worth buying the Pro version and what the differences are, so you have more or less answered for me.Chris_D wrote:yep, amazon for the dongle or cable. (ios/android)
You'll need to buy the pro app to gain the battery recode option i think, plus the other in-depth options the paid app gives. it's def worth it imo as some of the coding options are very handy.
I'm finding the 'live parameters' function quiet interesting as you can monitor various temps on the E85 as well as logging everything for later analysis. You can call that a bit anal but I bought a car with a few small issues that I fixed myself and as I'm not a trained mechanic by any margin it's just nice to keep an eye on things in order to validate/verify my own handiworkDas882 wrote:I was just going to ask the question of whether it was worth buying the Pro version and what the differences are, so you have more or less answered for me.Chris_D wrote:yep, amazon for the dongle or cable.

I think you can code different functions on the car with Carly, locking permutations, winker flashes etc etccoskermike wrote:I'm guessing carly works pretty much like a code reader, fault diagnosis and service light reset tool ? Other than live mapping what other tricks does it have ? The carly website seems quite vague !!
