Congrats on getting it all in.

I don't think you have an EWS problem. When the EWS system is preventing a startup, it shuts off the fuel pump and ingnition system. The engine will stil turn over, just won't start. Sounds like you have some other starter issue.

And just for the record, the transponder antenna around the ingnition key slot does not need to be swapped. Its just an antenna.

The key chip, EWS module and ECU is all that is required.
