I replaced the BMW OE battery in our 2009 X5 35d today with an EverStart Platinum AGM Battery, Group H8 from the local Walmart for $165. I did the install with no drama. Since it was a direct replacement (900CCA, etc.) I really don’t need to “register” this new battery except to optimize the charging, etc..

Never the less, I was planning to use the savings on the battery to buy a Carly OBD WiFi Adapter and App for our iPhones to upgrade my diagnostic tools and register the new battery. But Amazon lists the OBD WiFi adapter as “Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.“. Does anyone know of a source for this adapter that doesn’t require international shipping fees?

BTW the BMW OE battery (Exide delivered Nov 2012) had been installed under the original 4 yr warranty 6 years ago. That’s pretty good life. I hope that the EverStart does as well.
