EWS problem ?

Post by SeanConnor » Tue Mar 20, 2018 9:22 pm

It looks like I may have a dodgy EWS module.

I found this interesting document

http://www.unofficialbmw.com/images/BMW_EWS.pdf

It claims (as do others) that EWS modules MUST be ordered from BMW with the correct VIN and initial rolling code.

The modules are available very cheaply on eBay

Before I bend over at Dick Lovette BMW IS THIS TRUE ? Can second hand EWS modules be coded. Can I clone my original if the data is still available ?

Cheers
