I'm away to install a clifford concept 650 with intellistart. after doing a little research i found i need to get me a DEI 555B EWS II Immobilizer Interface. so i did but i didn't want to put my only spare key in the box (i only have 2 and having my only spare in the car is just stupid) so what i did was buy a used key the same as mine off ebay. My idea is i want to program the transponder in the key to my car then put that key in the box. What i intend to do is to swap transponder from the ebay key into my spare key, probram/sync transponder then swap back.
My Question is how do i program/sync the transponder to the car's ewsII? is there just a sequence of key-turns/button presses? I have carsoft 6.5. Can i use that to program/sync?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. i havent been able to find any info googling.

 This is what my key looks like. It's for the E36 Surely you must be able to program the key. How do the dealerships do it? | | | | | 01-15-2009, 12:43 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 |
I am pretty sure that the only way to align EWS/DME is using the GT1 computer.
Programming the remote entry/alarm is the weird door-opening experience.
They are two different chips. __________________

Thanks,
What i'm going to do is remove the transponder ring, cable tie the key to the ring and burry iot in the loom. Get a normal key cut (no transponder) and use that. the alarm and immobliser should be enough protection. | | | | | 01-20-2009, 04:26 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 |
You can probably just remove the transponder from the key, which still lets you use the key.
At least on the key with the light, split the case apart and you can see the chip. You should be able to remove it pretty easily. All other keys the chip is moulded into the plastic.
It's very small so I don't think you could zip-tie it, but you should have no trouble hiding it near the receiver ring. __________________
