how to cut and program bmw real or cheap ebay ews keys with ak90 programmer . E46 m3 5 series.

Sorry for the shotty video but just trying to show that you can program ews keys for bmw vehicles without spending a fortune on a dealer key. Also I offer key cutting services for any keys if you have the need just send me a message.

[@hzrcilingiranahtarkilitguv2419]

I can say the most comprehensive and successful video about AK 90 and BMW keys.

[@donharris1615]

After looking and researching for 10 years, thanks to you and your video, I have programmed a few extra keys for my 2003 Range Rover! Dealer want $354 and cost to program, and all the locksmith in my area could not program Range Rover key fob from 2003 -2005. After watching and you responding to my questions to get the AK90+ programmer to read the EWS chip, I got it done! Thank you very much! Good job Sir!

[@jackmeyers2911]

Don Harris I'm glad I could help you out!

[@andreamitchell4758]

can you please tell me which frequency key FOB i need to order, 315 or 433/434 Mhz for a US 2001 325ci ? i have seen a few of these videos but nobody ever mentions which FQ the car uses and i have seen both 315 and 433 mhz and then a combo that says it does both FQ's but you need to enter some sequence to switch the FQ. also say if you want to program 3 FOB's but you only have 2 keys registered to the EWS then will it still let you code 3 key FOB's? i just want to get a cheap key for the FOB functions only(lock ,unlock ,trunk)i don't need the key, but i am unsure if i will be able to code the FOB , (ignition ,hold unlock press lock 3 times) or is it linked somehow to the EWS so if i try and code a 3rd FOB without 1st coding a key to the EWS for the immobilizer then it won't let me?

[@jackmeyers2911]

Andrea Mitchell 315 for your car. Most of the cheap keys available with come with a 315 and a 433 transponder. Take the ak90 and do a read on your key and it will tell you what transd ponder chip to use. It won't program the transponder if it doesn't match your ews. You can get a junk key and own the remote only no problem. 2 totally different modules. The ews only handles the immobilizer part. I've seen people get old keys and cut the blade off and use it as a fob. Only bad part is the ignition actually charges the battery in the original bmw key as you drive . You're better off using an aftermarket key because they have a replaceable battery.

[@andreamitchell4758]

ok thanks yeah i don't have an ak90 , and i do not need the transponder at all like i said i only need the RF transmitter part to work i want to use the RF TX chip from a cheap Chinese key to build a little project to have alexa/ google home /google assistant , IFTTT be able to lock/unlock my doors and roll down my windows and roll up my windows(once i code it in NCS expert) and pop the trunk when the car is in the driveway hopefully the test pads will be easy to figure out on the key FOB so i won't need to de-solder the micro switches i am going to use either an ESP8266 based board and connect the GPIO pins to the test pads or buttons or just use some 433mhz quiachip type relays with my broadlink RM pro

[@markusheitmann]

@@andreamitchell4758 how did that project go?

[@mp0wa]

Thanks for posting this video Jack! I spent hours browsing the web looking for a solution for the "Pin No Touch" error! Turns out the key problem was at 3:35 in the video. My cable didn't come with any markings on the outside at all and there were no instructions, but I noticed there was a gray arrow on the inside. I thought that arrow needs to line up with the dot on the EWS chip...turns out that's not the case. Had to position exactly like you mention in the video and held it in place firmly. This app also works on Windows 10, I just use the same drivers installed in the AK90 app folder (was designed for XP, Vista and Win 7)

[@SneekyFauker]

Unbelievable! Atlanta based locksmith here and I shit my pants when I saw the cost on this machine! I'm so far very close to getting into the European models and I had my eyes on the VVDI2. I figured the VVDI2 was not able to do EWS modules and only the AK90 after watching the 1 hour and 30 minute long instructional video on Volvo and BMW programming by Transponder Island. My god that this programmer is disgustingly cheap for what it's able to do. $30 lol.

[@jackmeyers2911]

Right and it works. Over and over. I use it probably twice a week. I was going to go the avdi or vvdi2 route until they told me what it actually cost for all the software. It seems like every couple months there's a cheaper tool coming out that actually works. I'm getting by for now with what I have. Don't want another regretful purchase just yet. Lol

Thank you Jack .. I got a BMW with only one key. I found a 2nd (identical BMW) key. Can I read the 2nd key and add the 2nd key (with existing code) to the OK list in the white box? Or (alternatively) if I follow your video exactly does the A90 re-code the chip in the 2nd Key as if it were a new? (I have successfully recreated the slot so the key works now mechanically).

Hi, Have a question, is it possible to program Donor OE key with chip from another vehicle? The key is OE bmw with EML chip that was coded at one point to another e46. I acquired 2 OE keys at laughable price with the intention of swapping my transponder to this donor one- avoiding any coding necessary. ( my key has faulty remote for locking/ unlocking but transponder works fine and I am able to start the car, just have to manually lock / unlock doors and trunk) But before I start soldering job I was wondering if perhaps AK90 is capable of coding donor chip to my ews???

i have a Mini cooper 2005 with the EWS3+ module. after several attempts the Lock Smith could not get the new keys to work. The local lock smith try to program my ebay keys the cut works fine. He could not get the new keys to start the car. I had lost all my orginal keys except for the valet key. The valet key will still start the car but the new keys will not. But the new keys work if I put the valet key and turn the ignition to the on position and then back off. Then the new key will start the car and everthing is fine until i shut the car off. any suggestion.

hi jack i have an ak90 and i succsesfully programmed 1 key to it i then a few week later went to program another and the key does not work i then ordered another key/chip thinking i had a bad chip tried that one to no sucess it say it has writen the key correct and then i test the key and the info is there but it will not start the car but the first key i did does i am using the same bin file as that

[@volkan1555]

have all e46 the same cut and just another transponder code? or is every cut different?

[@fotisevangelatos2058]

I have bought and installed the AK90+ programmer (even though a missing file message appeared during installation) then I used the programmer to test my two manufacturer's keys and the new one. In several cases, AK90+ could not find the new key but always read the 2 manufacturer's keys. However, at one point the AK90+ also recognized the new key (Un-programmed, No 86). Then I took out the EWS unit from my car, I connected it with the AK90+ programmer (I had to keep the white plug by hand to ensure proper connectivity with the square chip) I read my car's immobilizer configuration (BIN file) and tried to write the new key. Unfortunately the writing process always ends up with a "Write Error" message. Having the BIN file saved in my laptop, I tried to write the new key several times, all ending with the "Write Error" message (at that the EWS was not connected anymore to the AK90+) . The funny thing is that when I tried to test the new key in some cases it was presented as programmed (No 5 Key with data from the vehicle) and in other cases it was found un-programmed (No 86) and finally now it cannot find the new key at all... Can you suggest which could be the problem? I guess that the ID44 Chip of the new key is malfunctioning, but how can I be sure...?? Can I send you the BIN file to test if the AK90+ read the EWS properly? Please send an email to contact you

[@Jasko2609]

Hi, Did you hold the reader on the OD46J chip while writing the new key? I mean, how is EWS going to know there's a new key? Thanks in advance. Cheers

[@legohead6]

The EWS has 10 memory slots for keys, The first time you use a new key with the correct code on it the EWS assigns it to memory automatically. He did hold it, and in my experience you almost always need to hold it.

[@mcycleserv]

hi good video..I have this and thought the arrow went to the dot ..maybe that is why all I get is PIN NO TOUCH ..have cleaned all the pins and even looked through magnifier just to make certain...got the shits with it not working and replaced the EWS back .into car ...better try it your way...what about ports ..do you have to set up port for driver ...mine says port 4 so I assigned it to this

[@jackmeyers2911]

billy mitchell yea try the arrow to the left. I always go into my PC and delete whatever is on port 1 before I plug in the ak90 just to be certain but it should work on any port. Chances are the arrow just needs to go to the left. They are notorious for putting the dot in the wrong spot.

jcadeb just wondering did you ever get yours to work?

[@ryangoelzenleuchter1009]

I'm getting the "Pin No Touch" error as well. Re-watching the video you mention the arrow in the chip connector should point toward the "left"(connection ports). I had assumed the arrow in the connector would point toward the dot on the chip as my connector not come with any markings on the outside. I didn't try any other positions as I was worried if I rotated the chip connector it might screw something up so haven't tried that. I'll dig out my chip again later this week, but was wondering about the "K-LINE OD46J Adapter" also available on Amazon - how would I know if I needed that.

[@mp0wa]

I use a Q-tip and dip it slightly with isopropyl alcohol, then clean the chip lightly. Like Jack mention, turn the chip connector to the left connection ports and just make sure it's firmly seated. Mine works perfectly after that!

[@DCS21O562]

​@@ryangoelzenleuchter1009 Did you buy a K-Line OD46J adaptor? I am wondering if buying a K-Line OD46J adaptor to provide power to the EWS3 will make it read, as I am unable to get the AK90 to read my EWS3. I scraped the coating off so that I now get contact, but only sometimes. I can red my current key ok, but not the EWS3. I get lots of PIN errors, but I when I do get good contact, it starts reading and says "wait", but that is as far as it goes. It will sit for hours trying to read and display the "wait" message, but I never get a readout. The plug that connects to the chip did not have an arrow, so I tried what I thought was the right orientation. No matter, I tried every position and the EWS3 still works in my car (i.e. the car starts), so do not worry about it corrupting the EWS3. Did you buy one?, and if yes, did it work?

[@jackmeyers2911]

Most of the replacements come with both chips from my experience. Amazon has the uograded flip key for $23. Its really well built and comes with both chips. Just use the one that matches your key. The replaceable battery is a big plus also.

Jack Meyers I was wondering if I should do what you mention however I was warned about blowing the ews? I am pretty sure that the coating is off and I've held down and squeezed then twisted and turned anyway I could, and it's not reading however everything else seems to recognize and read the key so it has to be the connector I'm thinking? And yes I've match the arrow on the connector to the dot on the chip!

[@jackmeyers2911]

Don Harris ok I think that's the problem. The arrow goes to the left the dot goes to the top. They don't align. If you were to hold the connector right in front of you with the dot facing up the arrow on the underside of the connector should be 90 degrees counterclockwise to the dot (or facing left). No matter how you put it on the chip it will not burn out the ews.

[@jackmeyers2911]

I'm strictly talking about the connector on the ak90 btw. I have had 3 of them and every one has been the same. The dot on the white cable cover and the arrow on the underside of the brown connector do not align. The arrow (as looking from the underside of the connector is 90 or 1/4 turn counterclockwise from the dot. Sorry just want to make sure I'm explaining it correctly.

Hey thereJack can u help need an extra 🔑

What does the nr 4 button do ? I cant figure it out. Thx

[@ajbatsche5402]

MrC that’s for pathway lighting on newer cars, but I think it can be changed on the older ones with coding

[@MrCS-81]

AJ Batsche how is that done coding ?

[@MrCS-81]

Will it not program it like turning it on to first mode and holding the door open key pressed and pressing door close button 3 times while the doors are closed ?

[@visualsforeuropanight2050]

It would be not programming - to be able start a vehicle, it would be coding to open door.

[@MrCS-81]

O Li thank you I understand that

[@MrCS-81]

O Li does the ak90 also do that at the same time ore do i have to do it after the ak90 to open and close doors ?

[@visualsforeuropanight2050]

@@MrCS-81 There is 2 separate systems in key: Transponder (little chip inside of the key, which you have to add to EWS to be able start car) and Remote for doors - which is set by instructions above. So, after programming with ak90 you need also set Remote.

[@visualsforeuropanight2050]

Your instructions above :)

Where is the key cut code after reading the module?

[@laurenceleeroceta8772]

hello sir what machine you used to cut keys on bmw. Have link?

[@jackmeyers2911]

I use the sec-e9 but in all honestly i wish I would have went with the x-horse mini. Its a good machine don't get me wrong but for just a little more money the xhorse is better.

[@jackmeyers2911]

Mark J. Kim I was thinking of doing the same thing. The sece9 does a great job of cutting all laser or dimple keys but it won't cut a large majority of standard keys. Some of the laser keys even hit the frame like the VW flip keys. I'm having to take them apart to cut them because you can't lower the guard . Most gm keys it could cut but it won't. It only gives you the option to select 2 of the 4 alignment grooves to cut them and the keys are too short to reach. It makes no sense. I'm just thinking of buying the silica combo code cutter. I think the xhorse mini is slightly better then the sec but I'm not sure if it's worth the difference in price.

[@padiautomotive]

Can i just rewrite the old used key chip without buying the new one?

[@jackmeyers2911]

No.. the orignal can not be overwritten .

mine keeps saying unknown key type or wright error

[@danjensen100]

You can't do this with Benz keys, right?

[@jackmeyers2911]

Dan Jensen you can but the tool is quite a bit more expensive and it's a little harder to take out the ignition.

[@lukas______]

Mine keeps saying pin no touch no matter how much cleaning

[@nicstam4578]

Keep getting the following message when attempting to read the EWS. "Please read AK90 key first---!" am I missing a step in loading the software?

I'm heading home from work now. .i'll ruin through mine when i get home and see what i come up with. What ews is in your car or what year is it?

Jack Meyers I lost my blade some days ago, so I have the fob now, without the key. Can I get a blank blade and get it cut without the old one?

franklyn umeh yes. It can be cut by code

Jack how can I contact you to get a key cut and programmed?

[@goclunker]

Jack Meyers where do you get this code? Lol

[@jusbenzz6324]

How did it read the info in the EWS?

[@jackmeyers2911]

Jus Benzz it reads directly from the chip on the ews with the in circuit adapter . It then makes the key from the info stored from the ews bin file.

[@SimerDown]

Bmw wants $378 for a spare key for a 2006 750i and a $140 programming fee must be huffing coolant lol . I can easily get to spare key for $40 and buy an AK-90 AND spend $80-100 for two rather than $518 for one 🤣 I’ll attempt this and update you later

[@DCS21O562]

If you have not done this yet, I bought two keys off AliExpress for under $30 AUD. That is for two keys, cut, with the electronics (i.e not just an empty case), and they work (open doors, boot, turn ignition). I synchronised them so they lock/unlock my doors. I just need to program them using the AKL90 so I can start my car, but I am am having problems with the AK90 reading the EWS3. It read my current key ok, I contacted multiple BMW dealers in Australia and they wanted $495 for one key. If I lost the only key I had, they wanted $1,000!! LMFAO. Total outlay so far? AK90 - $40AUD, two keys - $30AUD. Do I need to buy an Now I just need to get the AK90 to read my EWS3 chip. So close and yet so far.

I'm tying to promote myself? This comment has me a little confused

[@stevesimkins3918]

Cos true it shows people how to buy & use the kit. Previous comment proves this. You actually think this makes you money? Anybody can cut a key now but try to give some skill to the job. Really man take a rethink of your life. you will die poor
