your gonna pay for an hour of labor most anywhere you go... equipment is expensive.

Yeah I spoke to another shop and he explained it in detail. When ever I used and type of ECU programming tools (my experience with AEM) it is real easy to disable certain functions with my laptop but this isnt so. This process can take an hour.
I had mine done at Land Rover New Orleans and they didnt charge me a penny. Solved my battery draining problems.
The LR Dealer in Des Moines disabled mine and programmed my doors to not lock every time I put it in drive for around 25 bucks.
your compressor is located just ahead of the rear drivers side tire, reach there and disconect everything.
Just simply disconnecting the compressor DID NOT work for me. Even with it disconnected, the slabs ecu was drawing enough current just by cycling itself on and off that the battery would be dead in about 3 days if I didnt drive it. Get it reprogrammed.
Yeah and it won't be fixed until you get it reprogrammed. I had mine done at the dealer and it didn't take more than 4-5 minutes...they have to cover the cost of the equipment someway! But everywhere else was going to charge 100-150 from what I was quoted...my recommendation would be to have it done at the dealer. I even had one guy local tell me that most shops don't have the equipment to disable everything on the ecu.

That sounds pretty standard to me, although it is a lot of money considering it takes all of five minutes to do with a T4 handheld...

It would cost you $95 to have me do it, but I'd reprogram both the ABS ecu and the BCU to ensure it wouldn't lose its mind and start beeping at you.
You're not just paying for the service, you're paying for the instrument, the person who knows how to run it, the building, the lights, the toilet paper, etc.
You gotta pay to play.

darn I misread your initial post sorry, Im a dealer tech but on the same token try to steer people away due to the ridiculus rates... I try to make warranty work for me.
My shop just charged me something like $55-$65 to reprogram the SLABS and check all my 3 Amigos codes...I could have had a tech friend do it but I was already at the shop and just wanted it done...
