ews discussion This was getting off topic from our DIS thread. Quote:
I am pretty sure that EWS won't forget anything. Your old keys should start the car because they have been activated for EWS before. If the dealer disabled all your keys there will be evidence of this (EWS won't forget a key, it retains it and remembers that it is disabled) and your lawyer will have fun. Perhaps the EWS could be bypassed in the described manner as it could be tricking the car to run by exploiting a safety system designed to keep the car from shutting down while it's on the highway. The EWS ring antenna is external to the ignition cylinder and is a passive device anyway meaning it is a plug and go replacement. If you need to start your car using the ignition switch with no cylinder, simply hold the key head up to the ring antenna and it will be read. As far as your ignition cylinder, these cylinders are everywhere in the junkyards. I have never come across a pin-tumbler lock that I could not rekey: even tho I have never taken one of these apart, I am sure that they are repinnable. If you get a few cylinders from different cars there is a great chance that you will end up with the pins you need to get a cylinder that opens with your key. Additionally most locks will operate with missing pins. |
