kv6ness · 9th June 2018, 18:06

hi all longtime not being on here as my previous zt decided to go bang and throw a rod through the k series block !! which then put me right off lol

anyway now back with a new zt 2.5 190 in ignition blue 2005 has some issues namely rotton exhaust and rear arms a a tad rusty but went through mot ok 55500 miles full history etc so on to the title..

i bought the car with one key which is no good as my wife wants to use it and know her she will lose it ..

now as im a tech man and end up going off to diffrent parts of the world and have contact in the motor industry ive managed to gain a bit off equipment that will put new keys on and take the old ones off its not a clone box or anything its a decent one so thought id let you guys know once ive got it and uploaded the new software and i know it works imgoing to loan it out to people providing they give me there vin number to make sure there legitimate zt 75 owners club members etc

so ill post once ive done my key etc and let you all know if it works ok as it will save people hassle etc

Really??

So how are you going to police the use of this equipment, I can quote VIN from VRN so I'm sure others can do the same.

I can see a few pitfalls

Yep, Brian is spot on, very easy to quote VIN from a VRN, think this could cause more than a few issues.

Please be careful how you loan your equipment, I would be very upset if somebody borrowed this, using a vin (that could be read from any car on the street as it is displayed in the windscreen) and then used this to bypass my immobiliser.

Should of explained more you have to go through the OBD port to make it work . However I've now decided not to bother with it as it's causing more hassle than good 😑 and don't want to upset anyone on here so going to not bother as i new ish to the mg zt / 75 thing and like the forum and you helpful lot in here 😊

Just through the obd port for a fully working key?

That's a new one on me - the only ways I've seen are physically removing the ews to read it / write to it for transponder and then obd for the central locking board.

Interesting.

Unfortunately that's no good for EWS3

I suspect the equipment you have acquired is for EWS 4.3 and above (not fitted to R40 models), and BMW CAS.

It is not possible to read the binary content of the EWS3 without first resetting the processor, which requires the physical grounding of a particular pin, and this definitely requires the removal of the unit from the car

If you get stuck making a spare key for your car, let me know, and I'm sure I can help out
