B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted August 28, 2014 I treat the forums as a refuge from the people on Facebook. I may not contribute much around here but value the community here a heck of a lot more than the Facebook one. We should have a thread where we discuss where we would like to see the fourms go and how we can consciously contribute to achieve it. I certainly think its possible, I've seen it done before. This is our community, there's little stopping us from being aware and conscious of cultures we want to develop. I would hate for the forums to completely disappear as the thought of bring exposed solely to the Facebook scares my very core I totally agree with you Howard. We have lost many very valuable and knowledgeable people over the years due to the children that tend to come & go and contribute f**k all to the community.

Yes interesting isnt it, the members that dont want the off topic and childish carry on are the instigators, and you and I are the people they blame. Well, assuming the first post is updated and remains relevant I suppose anything goes for the rest of the thread. Please update my section of first post to be clear: S50B32 tools (not S50xxx) Beisan rattle kit tools (S50xxx) Yup will update now 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3_Power 636 Report post Posted September 17, 2014 Can now modify ews3 modules including rewrite VIN, km in module, add and delete keys (even ebay keys with correct transponder chip) - can help source these keys from ebay. Tried and tested on my own car with ebay keys and second hand ews modules. No more paying excessive dealer fees for new keys. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3_Power 636 Report post Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) What does one need to prepare for this Tom? I have an ebay (non remote) key with PCF7935AS chip which I need to get cut and coded for my e36. Can anyone cut these? And then what's the process of using your tool(s) to programme? Can they even do EWS2? You can get the key cut at Armstrongs ... or any lock smith that can cut an inner track key. They charge $45 as it's considered 2 track cut (one track each side - so 4 cuts). Once that's done you can pull your EWS unit out and read the main MCU chip. You'll get a bin file to the full chip read (1K) and then do the changes there - open or lock a key, add a key, change the EWS info (mileage, vin) ... and then you write the EWS ISN password to the key transponder and car information. Very easy and simple process. I might do a quick write up if I can grab some free time. But it is not difficult to do.
