Let us know if you're going this route. You should be able to get away with registering the battery only, but if you decide to do the coding, please show us pictures of how you used the Tool32.
What price have you been quoted for this battery? Where?

Just bought it and had it installed...
Interstate MTP-49/H8A. It is AGM, CCA 900 and the Ah is actually 95 so no coding needed by me. My KLASSE_BATTERIE value is currently "90ah_agm" so that's as close as I can get. I have just completed the registration using Tool32.
The MT5-49/H8 is the newer AGM model but that was not available from the local Interstate distributor yet. Interstate says this is 96AH.
Paid $200 for battery at Firestone Complete Auto Care. $88 for labor (which obviously could have done myself but I figured I was saving so much anyway
)
