You either have to take it to a dealer and get the battery pack paired to the car, or swap the BMS boards between the battery packs.SolarMike wrote:Does anyone know precisely what is needed to get them to communicate?
BMS boards AND wiring harness (inside the battery). In some cases, the wiring harness is different between model years and installing an incompatible BMS & wiring combination will fry the BMS.baustin wrote:You either have to take it to a dealer and get the battery pack paired to the car, or swap the BMS boards between the battery packs.SolarMike wrote:Does anyone know precisely what is needed to get them to communicate?

There is a third party tool to pair the battery pack. I've not used it, and have no second hand reports of use.baustin wrote:You either have to take it to a dealer and get the battery pack paired to the car, or swap the BMS boards between the battery packs.SolarMike wrote:Does anyone know precisely what is needed to get them to communicate?
@Cor reported in his battery thread finding a dealer that would do that for him.sabicao wrote: Do they do this at all? I've always believed they refuse to.
