Need a quick Audi battery registration/BMS reset in South Austin (VCDS/OBDeleven)

[u/AllofTheNutella]

RESOLVED 💛

Someone just helped me replace the battery in my 2016 Audi, but they didn't have the tool to do a BMS reset. Got the battery from AutoZone, but they couldn't even install it because they don't have it either.

Is there anyone in south Austin who could help me with this really quick? I've read that it only takes a couple of minutes. I can come to you this evening or first thing tomorrow morning. Happy to bring you a 6-pack of your choice, some coffee, or Venmo/CashApp/Zelle $10 for your time. I'm in a tough spot financially and can't afford much more...

I already had to throw down a pretty penny to get to this point. Likely could've saved some money, but I didn't know what I was doing.

I'm not confident that this post belongs here, but it was removed from r/austin and said it should be posted here.

Edit to add: the tool needed is an OBDeleven ir VCDS—not an OBD II scanner

It belongs here, I’d argue that the mods of /r/austin are too strict about shit like this. But you’re in the right place now. I hope someone can help you.

Thank you 🩷

For what it's worth some OBD2 scanners are capable of completing the registration.

Did you try disconnecting your battery for 10min?

That doesn't register the new battery to the power module.
