Keyless Entry Round 2

[ecsk]

Cool, just installed, it works great
My car had an old alarm which tap the lock output to double lock wire (red/brown) so i just reused that without touching the lock wire (yellow/blue), so now my lock button dead lock the car :)

p.s. I'm a tight ass :) I just followed this guy to cut an old key to fit into the key fob, save $5 to cut the blank key.

Is the e46 system the same price?

Bump for a great seller/ product. My setup has been running flawlessly since day 1-- it's been a good few months.

Hi Einstein,

2 things:

1) I bought the keyless entry with flip keys - works great! I think I did not remove the blank properly for cutting however, as it is not very tight and the tiny screws tend to loosen a bit. Can you let me know the proper way? I still have one of the uncut ones.

2) Bought the E46 style alarm back in March - finally got around to installing it today. The auto lock is a bit bigger issue than I thought. I set it up as keyless only and left the siren in the box. I wired the blue wire to the green/red wire on the driver side door switch which is behind the speaker. That switch works as my light goes on and off.
JP-1 is not jumpered - it is clear. I also tried unplugging the connector on the brain with the blue wire.

Anyway, it still relocks 20 seconds or so, whether the door has been opened or not. I was willing to work with a "must open door" situation, but this seems worse than others' experiences.

Is there something that can be done? I do think the E46 keys are cool (and mostly why I bought this one). When I started reading about some problems, I procrastinated on the installation.

So can you help with either of these problems? Thank you
Ross

For Clarity - Please

This is a wireless door/trunk open and close with the option during install of blinking light or not.

This unit is intended for use with E-30 cars the unit comes with key blanks for the e-30. the entire unit is in the appearance of the e-46 flip key design

So basically this is a central lock and unlock wireless thing for the e30 that just happen to look like the e-46 oem keyless entry flip key style.

1) Use red lock tite to hold it in place

2) There is a work around write up in the original GB thread. its towards the end.http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...&postcount=458

This thread refers to the flip blade keyless entry. The e46 style is only available on the alarm systems which are on closeout. They are both intended to be used on the e30. The flip key system comes with e30 specific wiring instructions.

Sorry, that was me! Gave it to my girlfriend for her VW!

I have wasted one of the key blanks -

Einstein - the key blanks are MUCH longer than the oem blank

Can I send you a key and the other blank?

I also need to get another blank or two.

I accidentally posted this in the first thread, so I'll just ask it here as well. For the sake of keeping things tidy, can I just remove the pins from the connector for the unused wires? If so, any ideas on how can I do it?

UPDATE: a bobby pin seemed to work, but rendered the unit useless. Should the unused wires remain in the harness? I clearly have an extremely limited knowledge of electronics and circuits.
