Let me guess.
You are one of those driving contis, more than 20k salary. Believe everything u read on car forums.

This must change one set, that will require reprogramming if u do xxx to it, every x kms must change this, must change that despite conditions...

Confirmed!

I drive a conti and I have never heard of a car needing reprogramming

They say la... They say....
Reprogramming =better fc, power, etc etc...
They say la...

Which is total bullcock to me.

After crank up your engine, use a multimeter to check your alternator voltage. If it not in the 14.4v - 14.8v range, time to change the alternator.

But sometime below that voltage is cause by too many electronic thing install that running. You have to judge yourself.

Simple search on internet.

Dah lah katak. Pakai maibi viva kancil mestila otak kecut iq 0. Still live in gua berapi era tu pun tak tau.

Did u know that the cars u cant afford, even to change headlights need to be programmed in the ecu these days? Of course u tak tau sebab u cant afford those cars mah.

Dahlah bodo tapi taknak accept the fact jugak.

Kecian.

True syoreyz.

Unless they are talking about aftermarket mods but that has nothing to do with the battery going flat whatsoever. The mods are done via a physical connection.

Read my reply above. Go do ur google search. 1 single search how many millions result come out.

Is this what you learnt from MIT?Did the private banker fund your studies?

I'm lucky i'm driving a freaking dinosaur. The only high tech gadget i have in my car is the voltage stabilizer & coil. So no worries for me. My cap ayam batteries last more than 3 years all the time.

Why u all so lazy ah?

Mentality like fuk also.

Merehsia maju jaya.

You bring to Toyota, they are more towards preventive maintenance. So, anything that is starting to go off, they suggest to replace.

Did you read?
Technically that is not actually reprogram, it just resetting the ecu to read the new battery.

Tulah.... Tulah.. Kan dah kata bodoh tu simpan sikit.....
Do u even know whats an ECU in the first place?
The tered you showed are to reprogram the bmw battery control unit(not the damn ECU) that u have put in a new battery.

If u upgrade from a 90ah to a 100ah and above, u need it. Especially if you fukken drive a first batch F10.

If you are using the exact same model battery, you don't even have to reprogram @recalibrate the batt control unit. For fuk sake!

And there are bugs in the first batch, thats why they were requested to go back and update the BCM. Not ECU.

GODDAMMIT!

then what is the use of forums if we can just google the answer ourselves?
forums function to help others to find answers to our problems that might not be able to solved normally or we are not too technical to solve it.

Use until koyak

Nowadays a lot of deliver and install services

Apa takut

Once a battery died on me while I was driving. It was a very "exciting" experience.

Also, deliver and install service cost more.

What a waste of oxygen

Depends on their location usually FOC

Outskirt like Nilai, KLIA no choice

I think toyota 24h free kah. I remember my fren punya came to house free
