e30 Keyless Entry (Sold Out)

[einstein57]

Full alarm functionality without auto locking

[Albuquerque30]

Just got it in this morning. Just wondering if this will work on an e34 as well.

[einstein57]

I don't see why not. Just need to get the proper blanks. UAS sells some.

[Albuquerque30]

Will look into it.

[spdracrm3]

no luck

well my attempt to use two diodes in the system to stop the backfeeding voltage on the accessories circuit and allow the the use of the pink wire to still feed the siren and allowing functionality of the alarm portion works great until the alarm is triggered (by motion sensor in my case),once triggered it will not shut off until unlock is pressed on the fob (alarm runs continuously in a loop thru all the tones),the pink wire is needed to pulse 12v on the white wire just as it tries to autolock ,but if the alarm is triggered the control see's that same 12v on the pink (siren blaring) wire as the ignition switch being on and so alarm stays triggered. dont know a way to get around this and dont think its worth the effort anymore . suffice to say if you want the auto locking to stop do as Einstein stated and connect the pink to white wire and use the unit as a keyless entry only , or use as and alarm just without the siren.(flashing lights only when triggered)

haven't decided how/if im going to finish mine up yet haven't had the keys cut yet and really wanted a working integrated alarm with the E46 style fob for keyless entry

ask any question you have and i will try to answer based on how i have it set up in my IX and what i have exprimented with

the E46 fob style kit from Einstein is and alarm system not just keyless entry ,and one if the quirks is that the system automatically tries to lock the doors after about 20-25 sec once unlocked with the fob , this is very annoying ,and we are trying to find a way to stop it. Einstein found out by connecting two wires it will prevent this from happening but it means the alarm system siren cannot be used . i was trying to find a way to maintain alarm functions but to no avail....

if you read thru all my posts on the last few post you'll understand

does the brain have a model printed on its circuit board? While this is Einstein's product, I'm sure the system was pieced together with various parts that might have a traceable schematic or share a similar brain design with other alarms. That way we can figure out if there is a jumper or programmable setting we can adjust to the brain

What i'm getting at is that the "problem" you are describing, is a pretty normal feature on most alarms when they are first setup. It's called passive arming (just like my scytek g20) and can be disabled via jumper settings or a certain clicking pattern.

I'm fine with using it just for keyless, and happy that we have a solution. I guess I would only ask for a summary description of how to wire it as a working keyless system, perhaps with a parking light flash on lock and/or unlock.

[Albuquerque30]

Agreed with butters. I think it'll still be an upgrade without a functioning siren. If spdracrm3 has a final outcome to having that work, I think it should be in the beginning of the thread.

[Thizzelle]

So wait if im working on my car with doors open or closed it will just lock itself and arm alarm?

[spdracrm3]

yes once unlocked with fob it will relock in 20-30 seconds unless you connect (pink "siren" wire to white "on" wire) this is on the E46 alarm style system not the keyless entry only system. so dont leave keys in car with windows rolled up!

i will be on vacation for 10 days but when i get back will try to get a detailed description of how i have mine wired (been to busy lately to get to it )

Alright everything installed perfectly fine, but now I'm faced with a dilemma. I can't find anywhere to get my keys cut. The locksmith shut me down immediately and said they and nowhere else in the area cuts steel keys, and the BMW had no idea as well. Where can I get the keys cut? I didn't think it'd be this much of a hassle

I had one of mine completely butchered. They then told me "Well, we couldn't get it right so we're not going to charge you for it." Really, completely destroy half of my blanks and you won't charge me? Thanks! Now I'm horrified to get the other one done.

Damn, that really sucks. What do we do? I'm eager to get these cut!
