Key and ECU Ordering Procedure – Japanese Market Only Each dealer must adhere to the following procedure when ordering keys and/or immobilisation ECU's. 1 The dealer receives a request from the customer for a spare/replacement key or a replacement immobilisation ECU and key set 2 The dealer must request from the customer proof of ownership and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This may be in the form of a registration document for example. If proof of ownership cannot be supplied, the dealer must not proceed with ordering keys 3 The dealer must raise a Vehicle Off Road (VOR) order quoting the VIN and the part number of the part(s) required 4 The dealer must pass the VOR order to the Japanese parts organisation 5 The Japanese parts organisation will send the order to BMW Japan 6 BMW Japan will validate the VIN via a direct link to the BMW database. If the VIN is incorrect, BMW Japan will contact the Japanese parts organisation who, in turn, will inform the dealer to revalidate the VIN 7 When the VIN is validated, BMW Japan will confirm from the database that immobilisation codes remain available 8 If no codes are available, the order is returned the Japanese parts organisation who inform the dealer that all available codes have been used and that a new immobilisation ECU and key set is required. The dealer will advise the customer that a new immobilisation ECU and key set is required. If the customer agrees, then the ordering procedure is repeated from step 3 9 BMW Japan will establish mechanical and electrical key configuration, update the database and create a bar code order form from which the spare/replacement key or immobilisation ECU and key set is made 10 BMW Japan will pass the completed order form to their key cutting centre who use the bar code to produce the new keys or new immobilisation ECU and key sets 11 BMW Japan will despatch the part(s) to the Japanese parts organisation to meet overnight delivery schedules 12 On receipt, the Japanese parts organisation will despatch the part(s) to the dealer using VOR or overnight delivery services
Replacement Key CCU Programming A replacement key will arrive ready for use. The EWS-3D will recognise the first use of the key and will initiate the random rolling code from then on.
Remote handset replacements will require synchronising. This is achieved using TestBook (security diagnostics) to enter two bar code serial numbers, supplied on a label with the handset, into one of four code positions in the CCU. TestBook can also be used to enable or disable keys, if a key is lost for example.
