I'll inquire with a local dealer, to see if the valet key route is still possible, but i've missed the window for repairs & parts in November, due to more expenses coming in the next 10-15 days (another vehicle inspection & tags, etc.).

Then, multiple Dr's appointments in the first part of December (above and beyond the ones covered by insurance: special eye care, glasses, and possibly shoulder surgery...if I'm lucky, my right shoulder is getting so bad now...), so I need to conserve my cash. And, despite a family agreement years ago, my wife will go hog wild (again) for Christmas spending on her sister's family...we're childless), so no money to spare for keys (if the dealer won't do the valet key). and then there's property taxes Jan1....

It might be February before I can resume work on th X5, if all goes wrong.

Thanks for your offer, but if I get to that point, I may just pull the EWS, send it and the DME off, and get it deleted. Too bad there's no local programmer that can do the job, on site, or I would've had it done last year.
We'll see.
