Honestly, get ready to get a new battery.

This is what I got with a discount for 130quid

If its completely disconnected will everything still work? Wireless key, radio etc
WHAT???
If it's disconnected/dead nothing will work plus you may experience additional problems/faults afterwards

Coding is purely (correct me anyone if I'm wrong) to tell the battery management that you have put a brand new battery with correct Ah etc so it can manage it/charge accordingly over the years, something like that.
When mine died over the night it was dead, hours of charge did nothing, couldn't even lock the boot as its electronic, dead !!!!
