One customer has a 2004 BMW e60 and 2 e60 2007s. Can I learn new keys through autel im508 and xp400 pro?

The eobdtool.co.uk engineer answered:

These cars belong to the EWS3 or EWS4 anti-theft system, you need to first disassemble the original EWS module, then use Autel XP400 Pro to read the EEPROM/Flash data and save it to the device, and finally, learn the key through MaxiIM IM508.

Here is BMW EWS3 key programming with IM508 operation instruction for reference.

Connect Autel MaxiIM IM508 to XP400 Pro and the EWS3 module properly

Operate on Autel IM508 key programmer

1.Read EEPROM data

Select “Automatic selection”-> tap “Read” to read out VIN automatically (No need to enter VIN manually)

Read out the vehicle info and confirm if it is correct

Select the related car year, system to read data 

Reference: Read Benz W207 EIS Data by Autel IM508 with XP400 Pro

2.Learn key

Select BMW-> System selection-> Immobilizer-> EWS Immobilizer-> Key operation-> Key learning

Pay attention to the prompt on the screen and go to the next step

Choose the EWS data that has been read and saved by XP400 Pro

Confirm the type of current EEPROM file is EWS immobilizer system and continue to perform

Select one key unused to write 

Put a blank key into the slot of the XP400 Pro programmer

Wait a moment to write key until the process is successful

After that, check the key status again, the key programmed will show “Used” status

Done!
