e30 Keyless Entry (Sold Out)

Of course the easy fix gets discovered now that i only have 5 kits left. lol

[spdracrm3]

spent some more time dinkin around with it since its a nice day and had it apart to try this trick ,and i tried many other combinations of wires jumpered together to make it so the pink wire could actually be used for the siren with no success ,definately need the pink & white together to stop the self locking.

one combo i tried had the pink and white together with my power feed with key on (basically how i had it before without pink wire tied in),with it set this way everything works locking/unlocking wise and the press brake pedal to lock doors works after ten seconds and doors unlock when ignition switch is turned off ,which is a feature i like (can be overridden with key fob to unlock if you need to get out and leave car running,next brake application and they relock). only issue with this is if you use the panic alarm feature which is to press fob lock button more than three seconds or if you have the shock sensor hooked up and set the alarm off it backfeeds power back up the key on wire even with key out of ignition and this in my case happen to be the accy circuit so the radio comes on ,hit the unlock it goes off of course ,so i need to put a diode in that circuit if i want to retain that function.

need to bring my DVOM home from work and test the pink and white wires apart and together to see what exactly is going on by jumpering them together and maybe another solution can be found...also need to try some combo's with the jumper pin inside the box removed and see how it works....

still havent been able to get the yellow wire which diagram shows going to a starter interlock relay to do anything either

had thoughts of using the trunk unlock feature (which is to hold unlock button down for three seconds ) to lower power windows and sunroof ,but it only powers up blu/blk wire for three seconds so would have to develop a latching relay setup that would kick off once windows were fully open....hmmmm fun with electronics

^^I think I'll be PMing you soon for some guidance on this. You seem to know a hell of a lot more about wiring than I do. Haha.

Check on ebay for a window controller. I don't think the box itself is meant to lower the windows but rather to trigger a controller to.

Correct. Only the flip blade has the built in roll up for one window unless you run additional relays.

Ditto. Or, spdracrm3, maybe you can summarize your wiring situation? You have the pink & white tied to each other, blue left alone.. do you have the original JP1 jumper in place? Or can we ignore that with this new solution

[spdracrm3]

i will need to check tonight but im sure i have the jumper installed as that was thought to be the original fix for the self locking . as stated i would like to try it without it jumpered to see if anything changes .will try to rememer to take DVOM home tonight too

Awesome, thank you for your help

[OldDrunkenSailor]

Einstein, would you mind copy/pasting these tutorials to the first post so we have a central repository? there are like four different wiring plans so far and now I' mjust horrified to put my system in my car.

Hey - wondering if you have any blanks left - my key cutter ended up not doing so well with the first one but he recognized his mistake and now knows how to line everything up.

Let me know if you do!

confirmed tonight that i did have a jumper on JP1 ,so removed it and tested everything and see no difference having JP1 jumpered or not everything funtions the same and it will still auto lock if the pink and white are not connected either way .

there are three other jumpable pins with JP2 ,JP3 JP4 labeled on the circuit board i tried jumping them in order with no change to locking/unlocking capability with the key fob and the lights flash the same ,only difference i noted was the the autolock "allways" happens even with the pink and white wires connected if any of JP2,JP# JP4 are jumpered .

next i tested the pink and wires seperately with DVOM

i tested the pink wire for voltage and it pulses 12v after 20-25 seconds as the doors lock (basically the if it was hooked to the siren it would chirp as it should per the instruction manual)
tested the white wire and never see voltage or change in resistance to ground at the 20-25 sec interval that the self locking occurs (this is what i expected as it listed as "on" so i think its looking for a 12v switched on input so system knows the ignition has been switched on and so it stops alarm functions)

as the white wire is listed as "on" in the instructions im thinking what happens is as the self locking timer triggers the door lock relay and pulses door locks and siren 12v(pink wire ) if you have that pink wire spliced to the white it sees the 12v trigger as the ignition being turned on at the same time its trying to trigger the self lock and as Einstein says this confuses the controller and stops the self locking.

thats as far as i got tonight before darkness and dinnertime ,but sitting at dinner and thinking about it and looking at wiring diagram in the instructions there were an orange and orange/blk wire in the 12 pin connector that werent used to run the door locks and i think one of these also pulses 12v as the doors lock so im thinking i will check that tomorrow night and if thats true i will see if that can be spliced to the white wire to stop the auto lock and free up the pink wire so that the system can still function as and alarm system ,if so i think we may have it all figured out......

accept for the autodown windows but thats another project for another day

[Albuquerque30]

Awesome work spdracrm3! Hopefully, you'll get it all figured out and let us know the final setup soon.

[spdracrm3]

darn it

well i worked on it a bit more tonight and using the orange or orange/blk wire will not work to turn off the autolocking function as they do not pulse 12v ,they actually alternately switch having approx 9v or ground depending if doors are locked or unlocked (even tried with the jumper in all four positions with no change ) i tried wiring the orange/blk which has 9v when doors lock to the white wire but when you lock the doors with the voltage still present on the white wire it sets alarm off (system knows doors are locked/alarm set and yet thinks ignition is being turned due to presence of voltage so alarm goes off).

so the pink is the only wire that pulses a quick 12v at the time the doors try to lock unfortunately which is whats needed to stop the autolocking (ie confuse the system), so the only way i can think to wire the system and keep the siren functional and use that same pink siren feed wire to stop the autolock is with 2 diodes , so will source diodes and test my theory on wiring it up and if it works let everyone know what i did .

this is turning into quite a challenge

What are you trying to achieve?
