replacing battery in the Roomie

[rooster]

Hello all!!!

I have bought a battery - and want to replace it myself.

Then I thought - what about the radio code?

So I rang Skoda - they said ring the dealer. Rang the dealer - they said to get the code they need to run the scan tool over it, or if you pull the radio out it is on the back (seems like a pointless security feature if it is on the back of the radio).

Anyway - has anyone changed a battery in their Roomster? Does it ask to enter the radio code? The nearest Skoda dealer is almost 100km away, so I would rather not do the drive if I dont have to.

thank you in advance

As long as you supply 12v to the vehicle as you change the battery, it won't lose the code. So you might want to use some wire (speaker wire?) to maintain a circuit.

Other battery changing threads on this forum say that you can just change it out like a 1964 holden & there are no issues.
