Q: Which tool can make BMW E6x comfort access key?
A: BMW Multi tool, but the main problem would be to get the unwritten key. Used many times via OBD programming or from eep dump. Good quality tool. Blank keys always available via Chinese markets.
Q: What to use for reading ISN from dde/dme?
A: EWS editor is the best. I have been using EWS editor for 2 years for EWS 3 and 4 key making and ISN change. It is faultless.
I use my FVDI commander to read the isn from dde/dme, i write the code in ews ( password) write back to ews and after sync ews to dde/dme using fvdi and voila job done. car start with different ews or dde/dme.
