0B46J K-Line Adaptor is only needed to write the EWS
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.

Keys for BMW with Cutting Included 🔑

😃😃
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.
If you put the speed at 1.25x he talks at normal speed
Lots of international viewers, I purposely talked in easy to understand English. Thanks though
Oh my fucking God I thought I was the only one noticing this and then I looked at your comment and it made it 10 times funnier
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!
Same
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.
you are the best thank you
45 degree... Sorry just have to❤
I just completed this process for a brand new key for my 1999 BMW 540i, and can confirm this works flawlessly. Thank you so much!
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.
Worked perfect. Bought my own key cutter and programmer and saved probably $300 with have to drive over 3 hrs one way to the nearest BMW dealer. Thank you
Which key cutter did you buy?
bro you're an absolute gangster for this. out of all the videos ive watched this is the one that made the most sense! nice one
London UK 🇬🇧 ❤❤
good job, bro! thanks for sharing your experience. I'm not English speaking by native, but i understood everything - you tell everything smooth and clear. very useful video!
thanks again! keep good!
Thanks for your video ! I purchased 4 key/remotes, 20 each 11mm emblems, 368a Defu key cutter, and AK90+ programmer. Total cost for everything was $192.33 . That is less then $50 for each key, and I still have the programmer and key cutting machine !!!
Sounds awesome, glad to help!
Stephen G link of key cutting tool need to make Range Rover keys and Ford Fusion
Stephen G can the 368a defu cut hu58?
Thanks very much, it worked great for me!
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.
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.
Highly detailed complete info on a complex subject. The links to the parts also appreciated. Great job
No problem, glad it helped
Great video, playback at 1.5x is just perfect
Thank you so much never thought to speed it up. I was struggling to concentrate on the video.
Programmed 2 new keys slot 5 and 6. All three started the car and remote worked. Then some how the two new ones lost their remote sync. re-synced with car and now only one new one remote works. Luckily all three start the car. Still researching. Thanks for the video
Absolutely amazing! I followed the directions and it worked. I even was able to install the software on my Mac under VirtualBox with Windows 7. The Chinese software loaded. The USB driver loaded. Just be sure to select the USB driver from the VirtualBox Devices -> USB menu. Too slick! A locksmith wanted $200 USD to program two keys. I got two blanks on Amazon for $15 USD. Laser cut for $20 USD each. The AK90+ box for $30 USD. An additional two working keys for an outlay of $85 USD in total. Thank you SO much!
Thank you so much for this extensive tutorial. I found it really useful.
Thanks to the poster of this video. Though I had to set the video speed to 1.25 for my own sanity.
Cry a river, I made this video so non english speakers could understand easily
@@StarSedzAuto Props for that. It is an excellent video.
Just what I needed for my bmw z4!
thank you for a great walk through and taking the time to share your insights and nohow all the best fella your a star
Thank you for sharing this video. Question: What should be the right key for my 2005 BMW 525i (March) E60
Diamond key
Wow the way you spoke in the beginning of this video was like it was gonna be something super simple to do but now you’re talking about pulling out controller components of your car and dismantling him taking them out of their original casings and all that hell no that’s exactly why the dealer charges 250 bucks to do a key I’d rather take it down and make sure that it’s done and I have no problems because then if it screws up I can take it right back to them they have to fix it for free.
It's not easy, but yes it's not worth it if you only want one key or not able to DIY. The savings are huge when you make 2, 3 or more keys and all the hard work was done after the first key is programmed.
wooow sweet explanation i understand every bit of what u said..i am doing the same job i live in sierra leone west african..in here we relly dont have opportunity to this tools or machine it relly have money here u can make a lot here with dat...
Very cool, hello west Africa. There is more information available in the description and other comments.
@@StarSedzAuto yes i have raed all of them..haveing stuff here is so hard check it out
23:19 - " you do it 5 times" did you mean to put the key in and turn the iginition to position three 5 times, and remove the key from ignition and then do bump procedure?
OR
key in, position 3, hold unlock, and press lock 3 times...
why did you buy two diamond shaped keys if you used a newer key?
Great video, thank you very much dude. you're a Leged!
I'm glad it helped, cheers
Hello very good video. My query is my 2007 BMW e90 doesn't start anymore. I think the battery went flat at some point and someone told me that if in BMW car battery goes down for around 2 hours, it's key loses its code so I have used obd2 diagnostic tool to check and I got the following codes
2A59 VVT-Leading sensor
2A5B VVT-Ref sensor
2B98 plausibility monitoring of the Ram backup
2F44 EWS 3.3 Manipulation Protection
Can I use AK90+ device to reprogram my existing key so that my car can be started again
Thanks
Ok, so my transmitter is bad on my key, and I have the replacement key for my e46, so I can just take it to the locksmith to copy it and cut the key
hello i set up software and i readed my current key but its saying cas,cas2,cas3 so i assume cant use this programer for new key? bmw e60 late 04'
@15:35...I'm sure it's been covered...but that's not oil...that's a protective film used on soldered joints
great video. thank you. do you have a similar video to create a second key for my 2011 bmw 328 as i have only one key. thank you in advance
Awesome! Thanks for sharin'
If I lost a key, can I erase it from the EWS so no one else can start the car? can you make a vid on how to identify which line is the missing key and how to erase or delete it from the list? Thank you in advance
This is the video I've been looking for since one of my original keys to my 2006 X5 stopped locking and unlocking my SUV. To reprogram the key assuming it isn't broken or defective, I basically insert into ignition with the key in question turn it to position II, remove it, hold the top button and press the emblem button three times?
Great video, I have a 2003 z4 so I will be trying it soon, two questions will the software be ok with any operating system? I have windows 10 and does the boot also open? once you do the key in the ignition? to program the remote locking
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.
Hey man. I was wondering if you have any idea what ews I have or is there a way for me too look it up? I have a 525i e39 from late 2001.
Hi lost bmw e46 2002 only key how to programme new key to match car?
you need to pull out the EWS system and use the AK90 tool to read the code from the EWS in order to program your new key
it worked!!!!!!!!
thank you sir, god bless you!
That alot works
Thanks for all the help!! whats the second software to download? the website has changed since this video.
It's still there, click "downloads" and it should be there. I've updated the link to directly go the downloads folder, before it was in the "overview" section.
Great video very step by step, wasn’t sure if I missed it, you mentioned that there’s 2 software needed to be downloaded loaded 1 to use the software and 1 to read or communicate, is there a link
Yes in the description
Thank you for your time spent on this well done video. I have 2002 320xi will this work for me
It should
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.
My laptop doesn’t have a disk reader what are my options? Buy a disk reader or can I get the software a different way? Thank you
can you explain if this method will work with 2011 535i?
My 03 E39 original key remote stopped working. Will that AK90+ fix the problem? Please advice. Thanks much
The software you download. On this video looks alot like what o needed to flash my quad flight controller. In my case it wouldnt work with usb 3.0. I had to use an older laptop i had with a usb 2.0 port. It almost fried my usb port on win 10 pc. Fair warning!
These ones use a different motherboard though dont they? They dont seem to use a rechargeable battery like the US models use
Aftermarket keys do not use a rechargeable battery at all, I've seen a few but most have the interchangeable CR2025 battery. The key case on these can pop open and snap in place, so it isn't a pain when the battery needs changing
What model and years will this programmer work? Nice vid. How much does a locksmith charge for a new key and programming?
Thx
The general range is 1996-2004 for 3/5 series. 1996-2008 for the BMW Z series and 2000-2010 for the X series. The 7 series is 1995-2001. Mini coopers for 2002-2007. 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.
Why do I need a 0B46J K-Line Adapter?Thank you answer
You only need it, if you want to edit the EWS. It's not needed if you're going to program a key.
Very good video, Thank you.
Can u upload a vid on changing kms for the cluster? I need to change mine to whT it actually is. Mines been tampered with
great video! i have an 04 530i and my orginal key comes up as CAS/CAS2/CAS3 but its the diamond blade hu92 why is this?
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.
"No Pin Touch" errors upon reading EWS can not be resolved.
EWS 3 with White Plastic 15 pin attachment board, 0D46J (MCU), Windows 7, 64bit system used.
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.
Require assistance, but no one able to help so far. No solutions found anywhere yet.
I have a e46 . The key is already cut and programmed but I can’t seem to programmed the unlock/lock part
Is it a regular diamond shaped key or a flip key? If it's a flip key try pressing the lock button 5 times instead of 3. If that doesn't work let me know
@@StarSedzAuto never mind I got it. It’s the “modern key” mine was the Diamond key. But I wanted to upgrade for a more fancier look 😂. But thank you sooo much what i was doing wrong is not holding it while pressing it 3 times. Thanks a lot!
Where is the software that works with windows 10? cp210x vcp driver installer. Not found at linked website.
Regards
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 🙇🏽
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.
Pls tell me bro for this procedure must to remove EWS module to program new empty key ? for bmw 320d e90 2005 year or directly read from original key and write new key only this software works on os XP i tried on windows 10 but no works
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..
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.
thanks for your great video tutorial, my AK90 unit was able to read both of my old keys , but not the upgraded after market it indicated "no key".i was able to program the remote functions....what seems to be the issue here .., pls. advise thanks
Open the key and make sure a black transponder is inside. If it's there, try to program it with nothing in the way. Otherwise maybe the transponder is bad.
@@StarSedzAuto Thanks a lot ,you are right ,it needs the little black small rectangular tuck it inside, when i received the new key ,the transponder is separate inside a small plastic pouch, good thing did not throw it out... yap just like what ;s shown on your tutorial, its being read now....Next step is to remove ews when got chance.....thanks once again....good night
Will the remote programming first work? With the 3 button presses etc. Or does the EWS need the key to be coded first for it to accept the RF signal
Yes the remote can be programmed first
When you were writing to the new key did you keep the ak90 cable connected to the mcu in the ews??
thank you very much
Hi, maybe someone knows. My problem: I change dde3.0, ews 3, ignition lock and key (because dde3.0 dead) but don't have driver doors lock, trunk lock, drawer lock with the set i change. Now i start car with the new key but lock with old one. I wondering maybe it possible programming orginal keys and ignition lock(antenna) with this software and tools ? I have orginal ews 3 too. Thanks
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.
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.
So for all you that already have the equipment to reprogram a key and no longer need it, can I buy it from you? :)
Hi, would I be right to assume that the new key is in the AK90 from time 19:14 onwards?
That's right. If the transponder is outside the key, it helps if it's standing upright on the AK90.
Where can i find the serial ?
Edit: i just filled the same nr what you did
And you are my hero everythjng works
What is the button nr 4 ?
And is it posible to overwrite a used slot ? Ore did u mention that then you will need an adaptor ?
You can make up anything for the serial and I don't understand the first question. You can write on a used slot but make sure it's not the one the OEM key is. Overwriting will require an adapter if you have the same EWS I had.
I tried this out but could not the EWS to read (OD46J) MCU. I aways hot a No pin touch error. It was able to read the original key and the after market key. What should I try next?
Check out the previous comments and description as most of the main issues like this are sorted out
Great video. Do you know if you can erase lost keys with this tool? Thanks
I don't remember, but I know you can rewrite an existing key slot that would have the previous one "erased"
Please help me do I write ews after I write key ???
Hello, you says: "If you write the EWS after making a key in slot 4, slot 4 will not work if you purchase a dealer key. ", so if i read EWS and make a key slot 4 for example, then i write same data on EWS, the key slot 4 will not work? why?
If you write back to the EWS, a BMW dealership key will simply use the next available slot from their records. If the BMW only had 3 keys and an aftermarket key was written on the 4th slot, a dealership will make a key for the 4th slot (not knowing of the aftermarket key of course) which would cause an issue. Do not write back or at least start from the last slot.
I installed the software, hooked up the device to my computer and test the key I bought from eBay and everything works. But it could not get my EWS read, and it says "PIN not touch". I have an OD46J/EWS3 model (I selected OD46J(MCU) to read), and I removed the coating on the EWS before connecting it to the device. I followed every step in your video and tried it multiple times and still the same message. Could you help me with it? The only thing I would doubt is I'm running this program on my Windows 10, would that be the problem? but it works when I test the eBay key and I could also read my old BMW key with all information on it. Thank you!
Windows 10 isn't a problem, it's the connection to the EWS. I had to press hard on mine, and make sure to clean the pins from the oil coating. Also make sure the AK90+ is connected on the right angle.
Sometimes the marking is wrong on the connector. Try it at a different position it won't read it if its wrong. I had to move mine around.
i totally feel you. exactly same situation, exactly same problem... no solution. 0D46J seems unreadable with the cheap AliExpress AK90.... i tested two AK90 Units and i also tested two EWS3 0D46J units with those. No success at all. one MCU is scraped so much to the bare metal of the pins, not possible, that there is no connection. The other EWS3 i actually soldered directly to the wires of the adapter to the AK90, still "PIN no touch", this is actually impossible and its driving me insane... Possible that i just received trash AK90s from china? Someone has a link to buy an AK90 which is confirmed to work with the EWS3 0D46J? Thank you so much folks
Try changing the orientation of the plug. I've had success numerous times. Once you know the orientation then mark it with a permanent marker. Also the contacts need to be clean so all conformal coating needs to be removed. I've also noticed that sometimes you need to maintain pressure on the cord to the ews mcu to ensure a good read and write.
@@JeffreyRosenthal1 Trust me, i tried EVERYTHING, as mentioned, i even soldered the wires directly to the chip, and yes im certain about the direction (the little arrow inside the adapter has point towards the main connector of the EWS unit)... so i measured the adapter to find out to which pin every cable goes and soldered it directly on the chip - still "PIN No touch"... i'm sure there have to be AK90 units out there (the cheap ones obviously) which just dont read the 0D46J Chip... whenever i read about troubles its concerning this chip..... maybe i have to order an "expensive" AK90... but where (i dont want to pay lke 100 bucks for yet another fake unit)...
very helpful thanks a lot, i want to know how to program ESW4 with this AK90+.
I recommend buying the adapter, or soldering the pins to the EWS like the photo shows. It's a bit harder.
Great video congratulations
Hi. I have a question, if you can help me out a bit. I have an e83, with ews 4. I bought the 4.3 4.4 ic adapter. The question is, after i write the new key, i need to write back to the ews? I need to check out the new key slot i use, and write back to the ews?
Thank you.
Hello, I personally don't write back but in general most will write back. You can check out the description for more information
Hi. Great video
I have a genuine BMW used key from a 2004 BMW 325ci and would like to know if i can get this key to work with my 2000 BMW 328? These are the diamond shaped keys
Pretty sure you can, but you will need a new key body unless the cut is the same.
I was able to to Read the EWS but it won’t analyze it nor write. I get an “ EWS Data is Error” message.
Perhaps it wasn't able to get a connection after the first successful read. You might have to put pressure on the connector that is attached to the EWS when analyzing/writing. It should have saved a file once it was read, you should be able to upload that to do these things.
@@StarSedzAuto I applied pressure the second time around and it worked. Thank YOU 🙏. You’re amazing.
on 19:15 on this step, when you click the Read EWS which key i should have on the AK90? my old key or my new one?
Do you highly recommend disconnecting the car battery prior to removing the EWS module from its location???
Yes, and it's easy to do
Thanks Sed
hello, thank you for your videos :)
have you ever made an X5 from 2007?
No but the process after removing the module is the same. Maybe it's an EWS4 but this video should help
is the second software absolutely necessary? I get the message "Please read AK90 key first...!" when I try to Read the key. What am I missing?
ok, I seem to have found the issue, it is what you refer to as "second software", which can extract from the original download file. see instructions on the below link www.key-programmer.org/2016/06/27/ak90-please-read-ak90-key-first/
@@msk8845 Yes, the 2nd software link in the description is needed to communicate with the computer
Will this work for a 2006 BMW 330i? I take EWS and program it with this software? I also have a OBDII to USB cable. Can I reprogram the EWS with OBDII to USB?
Very interesting tutorial.
Hi, I notice that the aftermarket key has four buttons, do all the buttons work? or do we need another step of programming to make it works?
The last button does not do anything, I heard it can be programmed to provide a function with another programmer.
Best video I've watched on this subject, so thank you!
I still have some questions about the K-Line adapter, and its need for programming the 0D46J MCU chipped EWS module. Anything you can explain about this would be helpful, as the K-Line adapter is expensive, enough so that it is more economical to have local locksmith cut & program keys for me (though I much prefer DIY).
Everything I've watched and read says K-line adapter is needed to program new keys if you have the 0D46J MCU (the adapter picture on EBay actually says "For 0D46J Only"), but your discussions from about 17:55 to 21:00 suggests that this is not correct.
Per your discussion, can you verify that NEW KEYS *can* be programmed to use an OPEN slot in a 0D46J EWS, without using the K-Line adapter, and doing so produces a key that will START the card? How does this work? It programs key only, but not the EWS? If I understand your discussion, EWS and KEY programming are two separate activities performed by the software, but only the KEY is programmed if using an open slot? How does the EWS Slot get the key info without EWS being programmed?
Yes, I can confirm I was able to program my key without the adapter. The programmer just reads the EWS dump data and uses it to make a compatible key. The adapter is only needed when you would like to edit the EWS itself, like overwriting a slot, removing a slot or anything that will actually change the EWS.
StarSedz Auto got it all software installed fine but the setup on the ak90 is not popping up an install program to install , any suggestions?
@@StarSedzAuto A comment in another video from a automotive key cutter said to use slot 1 as that is editable and can be overriden.
@@LCOF Yes, just make sure you don't currently have any keys from those slots
where do you put the downladed software? in the where
Hi bud
I have a 2005 x3 e83 and I'm in the UK my key has stopped working properly and I'm keen to try this, is it possible you could give me a few pointers with this please?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers Roy
Sure, is the key OEM or aftermarket and is the issue in regard to the remote or starting the vehicle?
@@StarSedzAuto Sorry just noticed your reply bud, it is original key ( I'm in UK ) I can start the car no problem for now. I now have to lock and open car from drivers door as button function on key fob no longer works 👎
Sounds good, I hope to program my 03 Range Rover with BMW EWS, and engine? Been needed an extra key for 10 years! I ordered all needed, I can't wait!
What is the name or link of that program that may need to be downloaded to communicate with the AK90+?
Is there a link provided?
Thanks for the video, saves me at least $354 if it works! I will confirm if I'm successful.
Awesome dude, great to hear another Range Rover person do this. The EWS isn't specifically from BMW, it was just a manufacturer that made these security systems. All the links are in the description.
Did ìt work on your Range Rover ? Thanks
Found a replacement key fob for a used f32 on ebay. All the numbers on the inside are same as original except for last number at bottom 9 *** *** 04. Would the difference in the *** digits make a difference to programming it without any problems?
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.
I see that the description for these programmers state that they are for BMWs
What is the model of the 2010 BMW? This was proven to work up to a 2010 BMW X Series. If you don't have a 2010 BMW X Series than your key is likely different and will require another way to program.
It's not an X series, Its a 535i. Thank you
I did the exacly same things step by step and i buy the same key and i have the program but it did not work. When i insert the new key a just write, its indicating the slot i choose ect... but when i reinstalle the box et turn the key nothing happends.. whyy?? Can you pleeeease help me bro??
Was the programmer able to read the new key in the first place? I would check there first
Yes absolutly and also the ews3 of my car i retry today to do it but same thing he doesn't want to start the car
@@irshademadar786 Try starting the vehicle with no remote inside the key, just the chip. Read this chip with the AK90+ and see if it's programmed to the vehicle.
Hey, thanks for the video. Great info. What can you do if you don't have a optical drive, is there a download available?
I'm sure there's a download page with the AK90+ software somewhere
@@StarSedzAuto I'll take a look around. Thank you.
So in order for the trunk unlock button to start working, I need to hold it while pressing the center emblem button 3 times?
Yes, hold the unlock and press the lock button 3 times and the locks should cycle showing the key has been programmed, let me know if that works
bought same as your key at minute 7.30 below but my reader says unknown key
Did you confirm the flip key was EWS and not CAS? This could be the reason why
@@StarSedzAuto just checked with the seller and it’s CAS😭
But in the description it says for bmw e46.
Does it mean i need another program? Or another key?
@@lucalucifora7370 That's on the seller if it says EWS, some 2004-2006 E46's have CAS but most are EWS. If the key has been cut, get an EWS key and swap the remote. The case should open with a flat screwdriver. Otherwise have him exchange it for an EWS key if he described it wrong.
Mine says read AK90 Key First
Thanks a million
When trying to initialize to the car, the buttons will not work. Why? Coded in, starts the car but keyless entry wont work
Programming the transponder does not program the remote. The remote programming is different, near the end of the video and there's other tutorials just for the remote.
@@StarSedzAuto I coded the transponder as well as did that initialization process. The buttons aren't working. Does my main key (non aftermarket) have to have a good battery to initialize non-bad battery keys? It wouldn't do the lock/unlock initialization process either assuming because the battery is dead on the main key
@@lukas______ The transponder is separate from the remote, just to make this clear. Make sure the remote programming video you're following is specifically for BMW, a Ford key programming won't work for example. If you need instructions that work let me know, and if you have a US spec BMW make sure the listing where you bought the key from doesn't say 433mhz (Euro spec frequency) or that will have to be changed. The frequency can be changed from 433mhz euro spec to 315mhz us spec interchangeably.
@@StarSedzAutoyes, I know. It was coded using ak90 and the transponder now matches my main key. I put key in ignition 1 on off 5 times then held unlock and pressed lock 3 times. This worked with neither the main key or new key. I'm going to the junkyard to get a used antenna amplifier (zkw) to see if my antenna is bad. Thank you for your help!
hey man thank you for the video, do you know why my programer keep saying unknown key type?
Some aftermarket keys don't work with ak90 , you'll have to buy a new key
Is it possible to just clone a good key's chip? so you dont have to remove the ecu box.
It's not possible for this type of transponder chip to clone
Thanks a million
You did a great job!
