I have read that a new battery has to be coded to the battery management system. Is this correct or mumbo jumbo for getting the replacement done professionally?

If it has Stop/Start then there will be a monitor unit in the negative lead and then it will need to be coded so the system knows it's a new battery, if no Stop/Start then fit and forget
