KEYS....

Hi
just a bit of info... I have bought an AK90 programmer from sunny China and some transponder chips and some cheapo cases from china and I managed to make myself a second key this morning.
The key was cut by a local key cutting place for £5 and it started the car fine. I did use a china remote case and its pants! so I am going to get around that in another way. But my purpose of posting was to say if anyone is interested in having any key programming done then I will be happy to help? I would recommend you get a blade cut to your key and get a remote you like from ebay! you can program the remote function yourself and so I would just do the transponder jobbie! I think there was a mint brand new genuine key selling for £22 on ebay.
I know BMKey chappie does this and I am not wanting to take his work from him. I just wanted to be able to sort my own keys out, I know he says he can't do EWS 4 (2005ish I think) but googling suggestions ak90 can do upto ews4.4? I would be happy to give it a go if someone is willing?
Now I am not wanting to do a business here. So I was going to say I would program as many keys as you wanted if you provide the key and the transponders for £20 and I will give £8 of this to east midlands ambulance and £2 going to this forum. I can lock off lost keys and all that. Let me know thoughts. I am in Liverpool for the next 3-4 weeks and in notts at weekends and travelling inbetween so let me know.
If theres no interest then that's fine. I also do have a diagnostic cable and so if you want to have faults read then we can give it a go for free whilst you're here?
If this is out of order please let me know and I will instantly delete this thread.
 
LOL when are you coming to North Carolina grin.... no that's a good deal wish there was someone local doing this.
 
Just a bump, I am going up to York today and then down to Cambridge over the weekend so if anyone wants a code reading or a key transponder reading please let me know, all work is done for free but I would ask for a donation to the air ambulance and forum
 
oooh.. so we can get those flip keys all coded up and shizzle?
very interested, especially as I'm Notts :thumbsup:

possibly not.. I've wired mine in, and whilst it works, the DSP option isn't showing on the headunit...
so whilst it says DSP on the amp, not sure it's compatible with our headunits :/
 
No sadly not, you don't flash the transponder, the transponder has a code on it so to speak and you allocate space on the ECU to that code. - that's how the aftermarket transponders work. The original bmw keys are different but they are uneconomical to do!
but transponders are very cheap - £3-4? so not an issue I think. What were you thinking Luke?

Would be interesting if it does give the DSP on mine tho? given I have dsp on my stereo? You don't have nav tho do you? Do you have an mp3 headunit? or is it the older one?
 
its the older one, and no nav.
might be a nav thing...
i'm currently waiting to snipe a different amp of ebay at present.. so the problems may all go away later anyways.
will keep you posted

(also, may ply you with beer until you agree to repaint my sideskirts :thumbsup: :D )

- You have me mixed ! I don't paint!

But maybe we should meet up, I currently have my original amp, but I also have a modern mp3 none nav headunit I bought in error and am currently trying to sell that we could try and see if either of those things make a difference?
Maybe you could help me with some ibus stuff as well.
