I don't own any vehicles that require battery registraction or have this kind of battery charging system. But I'm not a technophobe. I can see why BMW and other auto makers would adopt this technology. I suspect this will become pretty much standard on all cars in the near future.
I just want a feature where I can input the necessary specifications about a replacement battery at my convenience, and not have to take it to a dealer or shop that can. I've read in some BMW forums that the dealer wants $200 or $300 to input the new battery info. That seems like a ripoff to me.
I don't see a problem with this technology, just provide a way that I can interact with it when the need arises.
