Yes, you have to use a scan tool capable of talking to the manufacturer's software. In my case I use an iCarSoft CR Pro+, which does 24 European, 15 Asian, 3 American, and 2 Australian makes.
Going through the tool's menu, it asks for the type of battery (AGM) and serial number. The O's battery had one more digit then the software asked for, but other than that, gave no indication that it didn't accept the value given.
I took the car to an independent mechanic nearby who specializes in Euro cars and he was stumped as well. Now I get to tell what the issue was.
