    on the screen it says aux batt low and will not go in the ready mode, SO has anyone found a place for a reasonably priced 12 volt aux battery? thanks

    most all the auto parts stores carry them. call around for best price and install if you need it.

    Thanks Bisco, they all are in the same price line except for the yellow top optima. So now I have to choose from Duralast or Super Start … Oriley auto or Auto zone Most likely go with Auto Z..
    Duralast Platinum Battery
    Part Number: 46B24R-AGM
    Notes: OE Exact Fit
    Warranty: 3 years

    I would jump it first to ensure you are otherwise good and it will go to Ready. But not if you are not 100% confident on how to do it.

    The Duralast goes for 189 plus tax.... However I went with Duracell agm direct fit replacement . Bought at Batteries Plus locally bought on line and picked up in store same day. $188.00 I went Duracell cause the terminals on the duralast were wrong and they were sending the battery back as defect.

    Plus the Duracell comes with a 4 year free replacement not a pro rated warranty
