Replacement Procedures
Keys
Up  to  6  additional  keys  may  be  ordered  as  replacement  keys.  The  EWS  II  control  module
is codeable for only 10 keys (4 delivered with vehicle and 6 replacement). 
EWS III (3.3) Control Module
Replacement  EWS III  (3.3)  Control  Modules  are  ordered  VIN  specific.  The  module  is
received with the same “Rolling Code Table” as the original module. Once ZCS coded, the
DISplus  software  “resets”  the  current  rolling  code  in  the  DME  back  to  “Rolling  Code”  #1,
providing synchronization of both modules.
DME Control Modules
Replacement  DME  Control  Modules  are  “off  the  shelf”  and  must  be  programmed  for  the
specific  vehicle.  After  programming  the  DISplus  software  informs  the  EWS III  (3.3)  control
module that a new DME has been installed. The next time the ignition is switched on, the
EWS III  (3.3)  module  will  send  the  entire  “Rolling  Code  Table”    to  the  DME  and  reset  it  to
“Rolling Code” #1. 
The DME will automatically burn the “Rolling Code Table” into its memory. 
Once the table
has  been  burned  into  the  DME  memory  it  can NOT
be  changed.  For  this  reason  once  a
DME is “Married” to the vehicle it will not work in any other vehicle.
Under certain condition “Alignment” of the DME and EWS III (3.3) modules may still be nec-
essary. The alignment procedure only resets the code table to code #1 it does not change
the “Rolling Code Table”.
Key Activation
Keys  that  are  lost  or  stolen  may  be  deactivated  or  made  to  not  operate  the  starter  func-
tions.  The  SERVICE FUNCTIONS  of  the  DISplus  or  MoDic  for  EWS III  (3.3)  contains  a
“bar/release  code”  function  that  activates  and  deactivates  keys  of  the  EWS III  (3.3).    Any
key  may  be  “Barred”  except  the  key  in  the  ignition  at  the  time  of  deactivation.  The  lost  or
stolen key can be identified by the identification of the remaining keys.
There is no limit to the number of times a key can be activated/deactivated.
Workshop Hint:
While  checking  key  operation,  don’t  forget  to
wait 10 seconds before inserting the next key.
You can not BARthe key in the ignition.Workshop Hint:
A dead key battery does not affect vehicle start-
ing.
Keys  without  replaceable  batteries  are  not
charged  if  the  ignition  is  in  the  KLO  (Off)  posi-
tion.

EWS
EWS III D
EWS III  D  is  installed  on E36/7  beginning  of  production  99  Model  Year.  The  system
does not have a K-Bus input. 
Purpose of the System
The  purpose  of  the  EWS III  D  system  is  to  provide  the  highest  level  of  drive  away  protec-
tion  available  to  vehicles  without  a  K-Bus.    The  input  side  of  the  control  module  functions
the  same  as  an  EWS  II  (no  bus  inputs)  system  with  the  exception  of  an  integrated  EWS
module  and  transmitter/receiver  module.  The  output  side  functions  similar  to  an  EWS III
(3.3)  system  with  “Rolling  codes”.  The  EWS III D  control  module  is  on  the  D-Bus  for  diag-
nostics.
Individual component inputs and system operation is the same as the mentioned previous
systems. 
Replacement Procedures
Keys
Up to 6 additional keys may be ordered as replacement keys. The EWS III D control mod-
ule is codeable for only 10 keys (4 delivered with vehicle and 6 replacement). 
EWS III D Control Module
Replacement EWS III D Control Modules are ordered VIN specific. The module is received
with the same “Rolling Code Table” as the original module. Once ZCS codes, the DISplus
software “resets” the current rolling code in the DME back to “Rolling Code” #1, providing

Replacement  DME  Control  Modules  are  “off  the  shelf”  and  must  be  programmed  for  the

EWS
Under  certain  condition  “Alignment”  of  the  DME  and  EWS III  D  modules  may  still  be  nec-
essary. The alignment procedure only resets the code table to code #1 it does not change
the “Rolling Code Table”.
Key Activation
Keys  that  are  lost  or  stolen  may  be  deactivated  or  made  to  not  operate  the  starter  func-
tions.  The  SERVICE FUNCTIONS  of  the  DISplus  or  MoDic  for  EWS III  D  contains  a
“bar/release code” function that activates and deactivates keys of the EWS III D.  Any key
may be “Barred” except the key in the ignition at the time of deactivation. The lost or stolen
key can be identified by the identification of the remaining keys.
There is no limit to the number of times a key can be activated/deactivated.
