    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 5 лет назад +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.

  • @mp0wa
    @mp0wa 5 лет назад +8

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    • @StarSedzAuto
      @StarSedzAuto  4 года назад

      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.

      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.

    Does the trunk button on the new key work right away as well after you program it?
    or do you have to hold the unlock button and hit the trunk button 3 times to get it to work?

    • @StarSedzAuto

      Once the remote is programmed, I've noticed some aftermarket keys will open the trunk a few seconds after pressing. It's not instant. No do you do not program the trunk button separately

      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.

    Would you happened to know if I can make a HU58 with diamond shape style would work for my 1995 M3? I search a lot of E36 key on eBay/Amazon, they only offer the HU58 with transponder no chip (HU58 with light button is what my factory key is, yes it does have a chip.)

    • @StarSedzAuto
      @StarSedzAuto  6 лет назад

      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 6 лет назад

      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!

    I haven't been able to get my AK90+ to read my EWS for the last several hours. I've cleaned the hell out of the pins and make sure everything is tight and touching, reinstalled software and drivers, tried windows 10 and xp, nothing works. I just keep getting that "pin not touch" error
    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 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.

    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 года назад

      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.

      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.

    • @StarSedzAuto
      @StarSedzAuto  3 года назад

      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.

    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 😢

    • @StarSedzAuto
      @StarSedzAuto  2 года назад

      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.

      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.
