    Once the EWS has been read and a bin file has been saved, you can upload it and program another key without removing the EWS again.

    MORE INFORMATION AND NOTICE
    Since the video has been made, I am happy to be a part of a service providing DIY people keys for their BMW at a heavy discount. If you'd like a key from us, you're welcome to check out www.FasterAutoKeys.com for a key with a cutting service included.
    If you are having "Pin touch error" apply pressure on the module with the connector when reading/writing.
    Sometimes there will be a "Write Error" when writing the transponder but it will be programmed successfully. Try starting the BMW with the key to see if this is the case.
    It has been proven that this method also works with X series, up to 2010. It will also work with Mini and Land Rover vehicles with the EWS system and HU92 Blade.
    If you do not take the time to disconnect the battery before removing the EWS, do not be surprised if the EWS module is now corrupted.
    I highly recommend not to write the EWS after making a key. If you write the EWS after making a key in slot 4, we don't think slot 4 will work if you purchase a dealer key.
    It also allows you to have an infinite amount of keys.
    You are able to program a key from a used key slot without writing back, but make sure you don't have a current key that uses those slots.
    I purposely spoke in a slower, and easy to understand English with a soft overall tone so people who don't have English as their 1st language can understand this video. If you leave a comment about me talking slow, using 1.25x, 2x speed etc. I reserve the right to roast you :)
    While you are able to program an OEM remote (that was original to another vehicle) to your BMW you cannot reprogram the remote to start your vehicle. To use an OEM remote as a new key you will need to deactivate the ELMOS chip from that remote and program a separate transponder to the BMW. Otherwise the BMW will detect two transponders and will not start. You can deactivate the ELMOS by snipping off the 2nd to the last wire from the top right (with the unlock button being the top of the remote). I believe this will prevent the battery from charging, there is likely a way to deactivate the ELMOS chip and keep battery charging. There appears to be sellers who will provide a new ELMOS chip that can be soldered to keep charging, but they seem to be expensive and not worth it.
    Aftermarket BMW keys tend to not have a rechargeable battery, the casing in these can pop open and snap in place to reveal a CR2025 battery that can be easily changed.

    Worked like a charm. Called the dealership to have ONE key made and they quoted me $400!! After buying the ak90 with adapter, I was able to program 3 more keys for $40 a pop which included the key cut. Gotta love the free market for coming up with this. If the stealership didn't want to screw me over and was willing to charge a reasonable price, they might have gotten my business.

  • @johnnymeza5454
    @johnnymeza5454 4 роки тому +5

    Hey thanks for the video. You saved me from getting scammed by the dealership. A common problem is the "no pin touch" with the AK90 EWS connector. I had to apply pressure and rotate the connecter.

    Very detailed walk through and great video! I ended up buying the cut blank key for my BMW from this seller. Everything went smoothly except for one thing "PIN NO TOUCH" error! I installed the AK90 app on Windows 10 and it works fine, I use the driver located in the app folder directory after install.
    For those getting the "Pin No Touch" error on their AK90 app, try using a Q-tip and clean the EWS chip (4 edges) lightly with isopropyl alcohol so it's a clean contact. Also, if your AK90 cable clip does not have a red arrow or dot on the outside then look inside the clip for an arrow, mine has a gray arrow. Instead of lining up this arrow with the dot on the EWS chip position, turn it counterclockwise 45 degree left. So the arrow points towards the EWS pin connector direction. That was the biggest problem I had with this whole process, everything else was simple and smooth process! Good luck!

      Yep, your additional info was the ticket. Specifically the part about finding the arrow (Mine was raised on the underside and the same colour as the beige plastic). And then the part about turning it left. I think the isopropyl alcohol helped too.

    Hi there! I’m having some problems to connect the AK90 cable to the electronic card that was in the white box. I have a 2004 BMW 525i with a CAS2 (E6x) system. The chip I have is very slim compared to the one you show in the video and the AK90 connector doesn’t go in for some reason. Also, the system serial number on my chip does not appear in the computer program either. The one I have is 2k79x.

    When removing the EWS held down by the 2 10mm nuts, one side is slotted so you only have to just loosen that nut a bit. It will help a little reinstalling it.

    • @StarSedzAuto
      @StarSedzAuto  4 роки тому

      It will not work with Mac, and it will likely work with Windows 10. If you have an older Windows 7 computer that would be better or a virtual machine. Yes the trunk button works after programming the remote. If your trunk won't open it might be the actuator or a wiring issue.

    MCU connections are good, contacts clean, but still "No Pin Touch" error.
    I've read somewhere that this software only works in Windows XP @ 32bit system, but is this correct?
    K-Line adapter seems to be compatible to Black Plastic pin attachment boards with 10pin connectors?
    Not sure if there is K-Line adapter available for the White plastic 15 pin attachment board that I have.

    I recently programmed a diamond key to my 1996 E36, I am having issues syncing the key for keyless entry. Ive tried turning the original key (dead fob) to position 3 and the position 1 method as well, yet nothing seems to work. Ive also cycled through the frequencies of the new key as well. I have not cut the new key yet as i was hoping to do that after syncing so i have been turning the ignition with the old key and trying to sync the new key. The car runs the EWS 2 module, is it possible i got the wrong key or is there other syncing procedures i should try. The car is a 1996 BMW 318i and i did receive it with a diamond key.

Range Rover (non sport) 2002-2006. This is all that i know. That will vary by location, expect $75-200. I wouldn't pay more than $150.

      Hey, yes as noted in the video some are not EWS but CAS. If the BMW uses a CAS system the programmer will not work with it. Another way to check is searching the part number behind the key, if you let me know it I'll check too. The key module will also say EWS or CAS.

    hi one question::: i wanted to change my bmw e46 to a folded key :: i opened the old one and put the old board in the new housing.. and i went to keylock smit and have the blade shaped.. and now it opens and closing ..it is inserting in the car key ring it turns but not crancking unles i get the second circuit board near the car key ring and then it cranks.. what the hell 😪😪😪😪is the circuit board too far or is there another problem.. i want to open the car key ring insert to let the second board near the car key ring.. so that contacts closer or u have better idea..thanks for all info..

    • @StarSedzAuto
      @StarSedzAuto  2 роки тому

      Hello, yes I came across that same issue if you're talking about the E90 styled flip key. I also don't like how hard it was to flip the blade into the housing. If you had the diamond shaped key the transponder is soldered on the remote, I've seen some remove it and with extenders have it closer but I wouldn't mess with that. I would suggest a regular styled key shell that snaps in place, there are nice flip keys out there and those will have the transponder as a separate chip.

    When you write a key to an empty position in the EWS3, do you then have to write to the EWS3 to update it with the new key info or is that automatically done?
    Thanks

    • @StarSedzAuto
      @StarSedzAuto  Рік тому

      Check out the listing's description I went over this in more detail, if you don't you can make an infinite amount of keys. If you decide not to write back there will show a fault in the EWS module when you scan with a BMW diagnostic tool but nothing appears on the dash and there are no actual problems doing this

    Please help me do I write ews after I write key ???

  • @awilkinson4351
    @awilkinson4351 4 роки тому

    Hi, so my first attempt , I read the ews picked a spare key slot and wrote a new key. So I tried it in the car and nothing, I tried my original key started fine then I tried the key I did and it worked, I assumed it was all fine but the next day it was not working again. I'm a little confused as some videos of a few AK90 they are writing the ews after doing the key, which is the correct way of doing this.

    • @StarSedzAuto
      @StarSedzAuto  4 роки тому

      I don't write back, because it can make an infinite amount of keys this way. Writing back locks in the slot and it cannot take another key. This is how I do it. Likely the reason why the 2nd key started the vehicle is because the BMW thought the 1st key was still inside. I would scan the new key to see what the programmer says.

  • @johnross8057
    @johnross8057 4 роки тому

    Hi, tried following your vid with i think a nock off copy of ak90 as no bleeping noise when programming? At the end the key wont start the car, so as per other vids from other users i tried writing to ews still no good but now my original key wont work and the ews file says error, and when i try to upload original saved file still error at the end, do i need adaptor cable to write to ews or is it now a total loss?

    • @StarSedzAuto
      @StarSedzAuto  4 роки тому

      A knock off AK90? If there's a link I'd like to see it, as I haven't heard of this. If the AK90 isn't a knock off, did you write the new key in the same slot as the old key? This could cause that problem. It's hard to help not knowing what was followed like the video, but I would scan both the new and old key to see what it says. If the EWS was removed without disconnecting the battery, perhaps this could have been the issue too. Keep me updated

    • @johnross8057
      @johnross8057 4 роки тому

      StarSedz Auto , i didnt disconnect the neg, i followed your vid to the letter and tried it 4 or 5 times exactly, my ews had 5 keys already taken, my original was key number 3, i assigned new key to slot 6, all apeared to go as per your vid but didnt work on car, when vewing the ews after adding new key it never showed the addition of slot 6 now being taken if atall it should? so as i said lots of other vids show writing back to ews after doing key so i tried that and got error at the end and since then original key inop. So i then tried writing original saved file to ews and still error at the end of confirming after the initial upload looked to be ok.

      A real F30 key wouldn't work on EWS BMWs. You will need the key blade to start the vehicle, and it will not program the same. I made a video of a key upgrade that looks like an F30 key, but it uses aflip blade and programs like an EWS key.

    Then I noticed that my EWS actually says "US EWS-3+". Is EWS3+ something different that won't work? I have the same 0D46J chip you do from an e85 2004 Z4 . Everything looks the same except the box. Mine says USA in a couple places. Do I need a different programmer?

    I have one original bmw key which i believe is the earlier version before the diamond shaped key
    We had challenges programming with Ak90 and could not be successful.
    The car is just cranking and could not start with the only key I have.
    Now I want to buy a blank key, like one you used in the video.
    Is it possible to swap the internals of the programmed key to the original key.. or swap the blade itself to a new diamond shaped key which we then program ?
    Coz there’s no way I will have the key cut in my area 😢
    I am in desperate need of help 🙇🏽

    • @StarSedzAuto
      @StarSedzAuto  2 роки тому

      I could be wrong, but in theory if the key isn't programmed to the BMW it will not crank it all. The key will turn in the ignition and no sound is made. The fact that it cranks could mean the issue is outside of the key.

    Compliments on having the best video on using AK90 to program BMW keys. However, the video could be even better if you clarify how to orient the cable that connects to the EWS chip. This is important because damage can occur if cable is in wrong position. Look at the EWS chip and you will see one of the four corners is beveled. Now look at the connector and you will see one corner is beveled. On some AK90 cables, this corner is marked with lettering. Beveled corner on cable goes to beveled corner on chip.

    • @StarSedzAuto
      @StarSedzAuto  5 років тому

      The diamond key will work but issue is the keyless function. I think you have the separate keyless fob. If so, maybe you can program the remote using the method known to your vehicle (with the trunk open etc) but I wouldn't be sure. Try if that works I'd love to know.

    • @WideEVOMedia
      @WideEVOMedia 5 років тому

      StarSedz Auto, exactly! They buttons would be useless for me since the car doesn’t came with keyless entry from factory. Guess one way to find out is to give a try since that diamond key style seem to be my only option with the chip. I’ll definitely update you when I experiment it. Btw, your video is very informative, because of you, I was able to make an extra key for my Z4 and E46 M3 since both car only came with one key when I bought it. Thanks!

    • @StarSedzAuto
