battery in trunk (AGM) needed
Does anyone have the retail name / number for the battery located in the trunk (or cross reference info)? I've been getting the "Convenience Functions not Available" in the mornings or after work if the temperature is cold, and strongly believe that the rear battery (never been changed as far as I know) is nearing its end.
I'd like to call around for pricing (Advance Auto, O'Reilly, Autozone, etc) but they typically just have the front battery listed. I need to be able to give them more info about the battery so they could cross reference (and pulled the below from a pdf but don't think it's enough).
Thanks in advance - David

Thanks Mike.
I called around on the Interstate and got pricing around $188. The dealer wanted $203. I ended up taking out hold down bolt for the battery in my garage, then driving to the local dealer with a wrench to undo the connections and swapping the battery out there.
Took longer to ring it up than to do the install. It turns out this was the original battery for the car.
