That is the light control module and i think trans module. The EWS box is the size of pack of cigarettes, white color, up by the clutch interrupt switch.

The ECU from another e39 won't work unless your EWS system has been modified or every ews piece from the same vehicle is installed.

A specific encrypted ISN (individual serial number) is burned into the ECU, EWS control module, and each of your keys. When you insert the key into the ignition, your key, EWS module, and ECU communicate with each other and if the all don't have the same ISN the car won't start.

You can't write another ISN to these modules...they are write-once. Good luck with the pin trick

The EWS control module is usually found behind the glovebox (LHD) along with some other control modules. Since the OP is in another market...some things might be different. So refer to the TIS website for more info...use the last 7 digits of your VIN to make the site more specific.

In US LHD cars the EWS is below the headlight switch.
