My battery died (4 yrs. to the day after taking delivery of the car) and was told I would need to recode the car to relearn the power management of the new battery. does anyone know these steps or codes? Or, what if I kept power to the car with a small unit that plugs into the 12V socket so as not to let the car lose power while changing the battery?

I do have a vag-com...any help will be greatly appreciated.

Battery Coding is explained in the VCDS manual.
