Re: C5 battery reconnection
Is all that rigmarole really necessary myglaren? I've had my battery disconnected umpteen times, to fix an airbag fault, a turbo fault, etc.etc., fitted a new battery (twice) just reconnected it and never had any problems.
Man is, by nature, a lazy beast, he does not need twice encouraging to do nothing.

It is certainly recommended as shorttucs can lead to loads of problems particularly with satnav equipped models.
It is certainly a pain but less of a pain that a possible trashed ECU.

Re: C5 battery reconnection
One quick thought , when would car re learn the key ? As i read i need to put the key in with the ignition on then press a button so the key talks to the car ? I must have done it wrong as i cant shut the windows with my key at the moment. ?

You might have to hold the window switches up with the window closed for a few seconds. One of my windows stopped responding to the button the other day and that made it play ball again.
