    I am a new 360 owner... purchased over the summer. I recently purchased a new Odyssey battery. I would like to bring the battery and CTEK eyelets to a local installer to have it installed. Does anyone recommend a shop in Morris County NJ or close by? Are there things to be concerned about when replacing a battery?

    Gotta pull the carpet back and put the eyelets on there, it's not a hard job but you have to sorta reach in there through the passenger floorboard.

    Make sure you have the radio code (if stock) and wait a little while for relearn when turning on (threads here or in the owners handbook)

    Disconnect ground first to avoid sparks. Not a hard job. If you've got the money then let someone else do it.

    Wow... I am so impressed by the offers. I wish I had seen them yesterday. I just had the work done at Powertech in Rockaway NJ today. I bought the Odyssey 34R-PC1500T battery that was listed as the proper battery for the 360 but it did not fit in the OEM bracket. I have seen a number of people list this battery as the correct battery and it is also the batter listed on the Odyssey website but this battery was too tall. Powertech had to fabricate a bracket to make the fit work. Its all done now and everything fit fine but I didn't expect there to be this type of problem. On a separate note, I am having an issue with the trip odometer / odometer. The display will only show the trip odometer and the button will not switch to the actual odometer. This problem occurred the other day when my battery was almost dead and barely started the car. Even with a new battery, the toggle between the two will not work. I have read about this problem previously but I do not know if anyone has a solution. Please help. Dan, I see that you live in Seattle... I think that's a bit far from NJ but I do appreciate the offer of getting to know other Ferrari owners. Shmluisfc... where are you located?

    Hi Jeff,

    Yes, I didnt realize you are in east coast so yes its quite a drive LOL!
    If you are nearby come on over and I will help you.

    Interesting that they claim your 360 battery bracket wont fit the optima 34R as mine fits perfect and I too have a 360. Photo below.

    Oh well its all done and looks like you are happy so that is all that matters.

    Take care and drive safely!

    Dan
