Replug the AK90 windows will now say the driver is installed. Once finished you should see two icons appear on desktop:Īt this stage you need to install the drivers and make the drive work so hit:įollow the install to the end and make sure “Launch the CP210x VCP driver installer” is selected, hit install and ok. Run: AK90+ setup.exe hit next and install to default path. It will fail on driver install at this stage thats only so we have the unit plugged in ready to be installed. The first step is to plugin the AK90 using the provided usb cable windows should automatically detect and start drive install (im using Win 7) the unit will beep dont worry. I have provided the software i used with the AK90 programmer over at my downloads page here:Įdit: I have had reports the software didnt open correctly so i have provided another setup.ĭownload and extract to a folder where you can see/use it for example your desktop
you should now have the EWS unit out of the car this is all you need: here is the plug so you can see how that works: The is a black plug on one side of the unit you need to push down on the tab and it should slide out. Once both bolts are undone the unit should just hang down. it is held in by 2 plastic 10mm nuts on a clever but very fiddly to get at bracket. This is what we need to take out of the car. If you stick your head up inside there you should see a white box this is your EWS or immobilizer unit for the car: Once undone the trim panel should pull down. What you need to do is remove 2 screws (possibly 3) mine might have been missing 1 so check all along the trim: This is located here under the steering wheel of the car behind all the plastic trim:
Step 1: Remove the EWS Module (or immobilizer module from the car) Key cut (for the lock of car) – Local key smith £6ish.Key case (new)- Again eBay was my friend from here £3.20 delivered.New unprogrammed key internals + chip (the chip is important)- I got from eBay from here (£20 delivered – took 1 and half weeks).I did hours of reading about it from all across the internet and now i have located the correct method for achieving a key and much cheaper.īeing a software developer/ general techie by trade i was not put off by the challenge! Not immediately needing one and slightly knocked back i declined and was back to square one. So when i first got my E46 325 convertible it came with 1 key (diamond shape) this worried me, i asked dealer local to me who sniggered and said it would be a “£150 custom order from Germany” to get another one.
