Deactivating keys using BMW Scan 1.40
 

I have three keys and BMW scan shows 9 active. How do find which are the ones I have?

9 active??? wow, i think that the EWS can only take 10 maximum in its lifetime... i think QS had a post about the keys... i just could not find it... :(

Has anyone done this using BMW Scan? I guess I can deactivate them until I get to one of mine as long as I can reactivate it.

I just don't want to deactivate one and not be able to restore it.

i would do that with SSS as it shows which key is plugged in and is less of a risk to use.

Where would I get SSS?

Thanks

NVM possibly downloading now.

bought mine from romania. You can need vmware to run sss image and the connection program. torrent this BMW DIS/SSS AND MANY MORE (download torrent) - TPB

Thanks. I downloaded it & created the VM but it wanted a license which it said it would allow me to run for a month free then after reboot said the trial was over.

I bought the Romanian deal from eBay. Yeaaaaa 4 cables!

lol

Thanks

ok nice. 4 cables? all you need is one obd. you dont need the 20 pin adapter. not sure what other 3 cables are. good luck

I have 2 eBay INPA cables and a BMWScan 1.40 cable. Only the BMWScan really works.

Deactivatin/Activating Keys (EWS)
 

EDIT: just an FYI for those who don't know and may get confused...this information deals with deactivation/activation of the EWS (immobilizing/start) feature...all of your keys contain an EWS transponder/chip...not just the remote key. And it has nothing to do with the functions or programming of the "remote" FZV/DWA (central locking/unlocking & anti-theft alarm siren) features of your remote keys. This is for EWS only. :)
