Attempting K9 Eclipse Alarm install (kudos stereoinstaller)

[reelizmpro]

Use the dome light wire behind the drivers side speaker as the door trigger. This covers all doors as well as the trunk. You have a dual zone shock sensor with a warn away alert and full alert. Don't set it too sensitive or you'll get a lot of false alarms. Nothing more annoying than false alarms. The warn away should be more sensitive than the full alert. The alarm sees the warn away as the alarm having been activated. So if you set it too sensitive it will always chirp 4 times when you deactivate the alarm, letting you know that the alarm went off. When you adjust the sensor, wait 1 minute before testing it.

oh okay... I just had to wire the - to the chassis and viola... everything works great including the flashers...

only issue is the door trigger. cant figure how or where to wire it up.

i set the shock sensor to ultra super mega sensitive until then
a drop of bird shit should set it off..

E30's door locks are ground pulse activated. You'll only be using the negative wires, 1 for lock and 1 for unlock. The postive wires are for vehicles with Positive door lock systems. The system should give you an option for Horn or siren. Why not just use the siren? the horn may require an additional relay.

I found my manual but now I need to figure out how to wire the wires to the green/black green/purple wires and wich ones lock n unlock


the alarm has two wires for each

+ and a - for unlock

+ and a - for lock...

lost..

also the horn wire is a positive wire and if im not mistaken, the horn works by grounding out... how should I go about this?

[reelizmpro]

Of course not. You need the manual for your specific model. Don't want to guess with something like this. I'm sure it's online somewhere. Just search for "Omega research K9 Eclipse manual."

^^hey thanks...


I'm still lookin for the booklet as it has the wire diagram for the alarm on it...

Do you have any idea what wires are what on the k9 eclipse?


and yes i have all toolls.. Thanks a bunch!

I assume you have the tools to install. Crimpers? wire cutters? splices? inline connectors? multimeter? perhaps a soldering iron?

Anyway, the relay is the starter interupt. When powered it disables the starter. To get the headlights to flash you'll have to tap into the headlight relay. I've never done it but it should work as long as it's before the relay which is in the fusebox. Sounds like more work than its worth, I wouldn't do it. Just tap into the parking lights. Forget about the deadbolt, just go keyless. It's convenient and will save your keys/locks from damage.

Here's the good news...you don't need any additional relays for the door locks! Because you already have them in the central locking unit which is why you just have to splice into the lock/unlock wires behind the drivers side speaker. The dome light trigger is also there. You only need relays if the car didn't come with power door locks and all US E30's had power door locks. For instance, in my 88 Honda CRX, I added door lock actuators so I needed a relay module to drive them. Don't mess with the hazard circuit at all. Only reason to diode isolate is if you're hooking up multiple sensors together like a hood and trunk switch or shock sensor and radar proximity sensor on the same trigger.

I can confirm all of this because I just installed a K9 Mundial 3 by Omega Research in my own E30 3 weeks ago and my uncle is a professional installer since the 80's. When I removed the knee bolster the old HOFCO alarm just fell right down into my hands. This is not the way to install an alarm! Install it so when you look underneath there is virtually no sign of an alarm having been installed. Tuck everything and hide the brain. Don't be intimidated, it's easier than it seems.

I'm trying to folow this...

he didnt seem to use any relays

[e30slut]

no sir... I'm dumb when it comes to relays..

I wouldnt know where to get em, less how to wire them.

I lost the diagrm to the wiring of the alarm so im so fucked right now.

[StereoInstaller1]

The trunk lock wires are the same as the lock/unlock wires everywhere.

The door lock controller is in the left kick panel, as is the door trigger wire.

Did you get 2 relays to use on the door locks?

[e30slut]

I'm having trouble with this still.. I think I'll just run wire from the trunk lock to lock/unlock the doors. thats if it'll work

also, i'm having trouble with the door pin trigger... if you can help me figure out how i'm sposta wire that thing.

[e30slut]

thanks luke..

I guess i'll be remoteless for a while...

Currently getting busy... no starter interupt, i'll just use the code feature on the computer.

[StereoInstaller1]

Yes, you need to use relays to operate he door lock system, and no, you cannot do the high security lock with the keyless.

I highly recommend AGAINST doing starter interrupt in an E30.

So, yeah, go get busy!
