Battery coding is not applicable to D2's. Just plug and play.

Poor battery condition can produce error codes (usually low voltage, out of range, or intermittent faults), so a code reset is a good idea. Not critical.

Jump starting:
Best option is to use one of those micro LiPo jump starter packs. I've got three now!
Using jump leads is ok provided you have a spike protection box on the lead.
If the car runs ok after disconnecting the leads, the alternator is probably ok anyway.

- has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!
