BMW Battery Registration With The Ancel BM700 Scan Tool 

Hi Steve, I have this tool also. I have to use it more and play around with the coding aspect. Thanks for your post!

@@codymanship6856 A change can be programmed into the vehicle, but not with this scan tool. This is only battery registration of the same type and capacity.

@@AskTheCarExperts so same amps. Same type of battery?

@@codymanship6856 Correct

@@AskTheCarExperts thank you so much. I wish I would’ve known that before I bought this tool. I’m taking it to a certified mechanic today to register an AGM battery. I will let you know how it goes. I think I will keep this anyway because it should come in handy for other things.

Update. I paid a local mechanic 100$ to program and register a new agm battery in my 2018 Passat. Since then it’s ran perfect. The update ruined this scanner

Hello, It definately should have the battery registration feature.

To change the AH rating you would need a scan tool with programming and coding ability. I think this can be done with the Launch tool but I have not tried it yet.

Hi Fred, It may be that there is an underlying issue with the car and it is most likely not the scan tool. The IBS is the negative cable and it has to be able to communicate to the DME or DDE (engine computer) in order to register the battery. This could be an issue with the negative cable, the communication line, or with the DME. I would scan the vehicle and see what codes you have. Make a list. Then clear the codes and see what comes back. Then try and trace down the issues with the faults that return.

Hello, This one only registers. The Launch I this video cam change the amp rating. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GBLZMdKEX1E.html

Hello, There are quite a lot of options. One is this Ancel BMW700 which is in a moderate price range. This scan tool can do a full system scan. What it cannot do is do component activations. For that you need a higher end scan tool like an Autel. I have been considering upgrading to an Autel myself as the capability is much higher. But for a full scan on BMW the Ancel BM700 does a great job. Autel scan tool: amzn.to/439VEvm

It is also a generic scan tool for other brands but it does specialize in BMW items and modules.

I would suspect it would. But for higher functions a Launch or autel would be recommended.

Hello Osman, With this scan tool it will not do a throttle relearn procedure. You would need a higher end scan tool for this procedure such as the Autel: amzn.to/4cjs9LH

Thank you very much@@AskTheCarExperts

Hello, If you are trying to register the battery that would be the correct tab.
