My wife's Macan has the same thing, register the battery if changed.
I have an Autlel MaxiCheck MZ 808. It works for almost every car even made. Even cars not imported to the USA.
For the Macan, I had to tell it a part number, battery type, amp hours and a serial number. I used the correct battery type, (Glass mat not wet cell) and part number and I had too change a digit for the serial number.
I called our dealership and they wanted $700+ just for the battery! Installation was more. Enough to pay for the Autel. I went to a local Interstate battery place and bought a new glass mat battery for $250. It had 3 more amp hours, than the original one, but everything else was the same.
It was a fairly simple process. My 85 911 used the exact same huge battery.
My business partner has a Ford Escape that I reset some cods and he figured out a minor issue and had to replace a part. It reads everything. No restrictions.
