My guess is yes as even my wife's 2006 A6 required that

It is absolutely necessary

According to the BMW and Audi Service reps. the answer is yes. I would like to hear an answer from those who know that are not associated with Audi/BMW. If true it more than doubles the cost of a DIY battery exchange. The BMW dealer told my wife it was not coded by BMW the battery could explode. Killed my chances of saving over $200.

Seriously, I can't just replace a battery, I need to pay to have it registered? Why? |
Car needs to know it's a new battery so that it will change the way it charges it. Car battery tech has not caught up with laptop/phone batteries where they report their level of charge to the host environment.

Can the OBDEleven tool properly register a new 12v car battery in Audi's?
If so, is there a source somewhere explaining the procedure? |

Why do you have to change a battery for a 4 years old car? Is this normal for Audi? |
The battery in my old Lexus only had a guaranteed 3-year life, and Audi may be similar. I don't see anything in the manual and don't want to dig around in the trunk, but the battery is often one of the areas that car manufacturers skimp on. Like a lot of things now, they want to cover leases and then you're on your own.
