Keyless Entry Round 2

[einstein57]

Install went well. Went to ace hardware and he tried to cut it but got home and it doesn't go in all the way. Anyone get their keys cut in San Diego yet?

You have to go to a real locksmith

Bought an E46 style, thanks!

The internals are not interchangeable.

sweet I have wanted one of these for so long! Payment sent!

so I got a 318. I don't have central locks. Would this work?

No it won't

Clicking and E46 -Flip key retrofit

Hi Einstein

Turns out the wires were not making good contact - working now!

2 more questions:

1) There are about 15 clicks fom the unit each time I open the door. Is this normal? I only installed in in keyless mode - no alarm

2) Can the remote circuit in the flip key be transplanted into the E46 key or vice versa? I have both units, hoping to have a key of each type for each car.

Thanks for being patient with all the questions!:D

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

So is there a good DIY out there for the e46 style? I am going to be installing mine soon!

Easy install, however Unit will only open passenger door and trunk. Drivers door doesn't move. Wiring is correct. Any ideas?

The passenger door, trunk, and fuel filler door are on the same circuit. If the driver door is not working there must be a severed connection or bad solenoid.

How is this done?

Small screw driver, flip the blade open and have someone hold it half open; you'll see the screws on the sides.

Just wanted to confirm what is done with the orange and orange/black wires. Installing now.

Nothing. Those are little scissors on the instructions.

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.

Sure. You can send it to the return address.

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.

I use a small screw driver. The type you use for eye glasses. I did a pictorial on the cleanest way to reduce the harness in the old thread.

I hate to post this, but is there an official method of removing the blade prior to cutting? I looked around and didn't come up with anything.

BTW, the kit is working perfect and the install was super easy. I can't say enough how pleased I am with it.

First extend the blade out. There are 2 screws behind the GE cover. Remove them and carefully lift the plastic cover and be mindfull of which way the spring is loaded. Its wound up a turn and a half. Then you'll have unobsstructed access to the blank and the pivot base. If you remove the blade from the base make sure to use red loctite or epoxy when you re-assemble it.
