2. Connect a good 15-20 amp battery charger while coding
3. Make sure the car stays on and the gauges are lit up. These new ones start partially shutting down after a period and you'll get coding errors. So just hit the start/stop button again to make the gauges completely light up.

Thanks guys.

@OuKEnFoLdMX, do you mind editing your reply and leave out my original large quote. It creates clutter. I'd really appreciate it, buddy .

@skalberti, shawnsheridan told me engine running is completely fine as long as you're not doing any DME changes. Also, he said all of the coding that is in r33's cheat sheet does not require much power so it's ok to code those with AC on only. Based on this, I have never had any issues coding with engine on or AC on.
