Recode Golf 7 new AGM battery - Carista or OBD11

[StevieGTI7]

I had to replace the EFB battery in my Golf 7 GTI and upgraded it to an AGM battery. I need to code the new battery details and wouldn't mind changing a few other options. Only likely to use it on a single vehicle and mods would be minor. Would the Carista and OBDeleven allow me to code the new battery?

Stevie: OBD11 certainly would work - did you buy a BEM battery - which has a sticker containing all the relevant details?

If so, here's how it's done

Thanks Don. It's not a BEM but I do have the battery specs available to input. Will be switching off stop/start as the first mod.
Cheers.

As an aside, if I wanted to put a standard lead acid into my Tiguan as a replacement for the existing AGM, does that mean its possible providing I reset the battery details? I'm aware there's probably capacity issues, but the AGM doesn't seem to last as long
