When I search, it doesn't search for EWS. I need to know where this is located ASAP. I just got my new keys. I can lock and unlock but can't start the car. Anyone know? 1995 M42 __________________ I'm back with a different 95 ti | | | 07-14-2006, 11:48 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Minneapolis Posts: 1,587 | My Bentley says it's behind the glove compartment. Possibly the lowest (closest to the floor) unit in there. | | | 07-15-2006, 12:27 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | From unofficialbmw.com It's the purple one. I have an extra EWS-II module. 61-35-4146-048 __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 07-15-2006, 08:29 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Berkeley, CA Posts: 411 | Well, BMW said that it has to be reprogrammed. My brand new one is grayish. Maybe the original is purple, which would have been why I didnt see it. Ill try it out tomorrow. The parts guy said it just has to be plugged in but service said it has to be reprogrammed. Anyone know which of these are true. I have an appt on Monday morning. Not needed if they dont have to reprogram. Thanks a lot you two. I HAVE to get a bentley manual soon. __________________ I'm back with a different 95 ti | | | 07-15-2006, 11:52 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Bremerhaven, Germany Posts: 977 | I am almost certain that your DME needs dealer-coding to recognize the changed EWS-II module. I would write certain if I ever had had it done to my car. | | | 07-15-2006, 01:03 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Quote: Originally Posted by jetblackbimmer Well, BMW said that it has to be reprogrammed.

My module is whiteish but the connector is purple and has a green label. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
