My Bentley battery died and took the radio presets with it
I'm honestly so frustrated right now and I need to vent a little bit. I went out to my 2017 Flying Spur this morning and the car was completely dead, wouldn't unlock, wouldn't start, nothing. I had to use the manual key to get in which I didn't even know existed until today. I managed to jump start it and drove around for a while to charge the battery, but the worst part is that when I finally got the car going, all my settings were wiped out. The seat memory, the climate control preferences, the navigation favourites, and most annoyingly, all my radio presets were completely gone. It took me ages to get those set up perfectly and now I have to go through and do it all over again. I'm pretty sure the battery is just finished and needs replacing, but I'm really not looking forward to the dealership prices. I've been looking into independent specialists who work on Bentleys because I figure they must be more reasonable while still knowing what they're doing. I came across a really informative page at https://batteryzoneuae.com/bentley-battery-replacement/ that explains the specific requirements for Bentley batteries and why the coding process is so important. I'm thinking of going the independent route because I just can't justify paying dealer prices for a battery replacement, but I want to make sure whoever does the work actually knows what they're doing with these cars. Has anyone here had their Bentley battery replaced by an independent specialist and had a good experience? I'd really appreciate any recommendations or advice before I make a decision.
