I was told the chip and key are linked and can't be separated. Just an update: I did more research and found I may only be able to attack this one way. The car starts with the correct chip but it wont align to the new chip.

My current version even saw the different chips in the key. I would love to know what the procedure is and how long it should take. Has anyone successfully used INPA to realign an OBDII e36 EWS? Two little dots in the upper left corner were kind of flashing and it said Working in green on the bottom of the screen.ĭid I do it right and just not wait long enough? Did I do it wrong? I waited like 5 minutes and the screen never changed. I tried using the ACTIVATE button from inside the EWS module display and INPA switched to the ACTIVATE screen but it just sat there. It even reads the coding info off the new chip. It recognizes the existing DME and the existing EWS module. I will be using the 5speed key and EWS module so I can be sure I can drive it arond after the swap but I really want to be able to realign my two original keys to that new DME when Im done. I want to realign the EWS with MY two keys after I install it so I swapped that chip from the 5 speed car into one of my keys and tried to align it with my car using INPA. I have the DME and EWS module and one chip from the key from the 5 speed car so they all match. Its the same DME so Im not worried about that part. I want to use the DME out of a 96 328is 5 speed car so I have less issues with the swap. I have a 97 328 vert and I'll be doing a manual/auto tranny swap soon.
