New battery.

Good thing to buy for any of you changing a car battery in the future. Saves any dash lights or ECU resets.

New battery.

Two days or 48 hours constant charging and still the magic eye is the same as the pic. I'll give it another 24 hours and if no change I'll connect a radio to it and stick it in the shed!

Re: swapping rns 315 for rns 510

You will need to code via Vcds yes and also set it up to work on the mfd as well via Vcds. Mine was done this was and is the best thing I did to the car.

Bluetooth & dab if already fitted to the car should should be a straight plug & play option.

Re: swapping rns 315 for rns 510

Straight swap over. Just put the gps antenna above the radio into the slot below the two middle air vents. Nice little slot here where it fits snug.

New battery.

It's a sealed unit and is full. Chargers been on 14 hours now and the charging yellow light is flashing. That indicator is on the top and I'm assuming it's the charge indicator. Image

Re: New battery.

Someone help me out here. I kept the old battery as I thought if I charge it back up and stick it in the shed. If I ever need a jump start I can do it myself. Anyway. What does this light mean? It needs charging or its fu*** now? What colour is fully charged? Green? http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2...

Re: New battery.

It always was safe. Original reason for thread was a bit of advice on changing the battery over but as per it goes right off topic and only 1 answer to the original question. But that's this forum for you lol.
