Need some help

[poiper]

Hey guys! I recently picked up a 318is but im having some issues... big issues.
i was replacing the aftermarket head unit yesterday and everything was going great until i got home after i put it in and poof.... car wont start. Nothing.. nada.. no turning over no starter clicks lights and accessories work flawlessly though.. It may have something to do with an after market alarm a previous owner put in although im not sure.

I've been trying to get the old wiring from the alarm out but have made minimal progress. i have a few pictures of the drivers side kick panel where most of alarm wiring seems to be isolated.

What? Another R3V member here in the middle of nowhere?

There are a few things that could have messed you up...but nothing specifically in the radio hole.

I don't think your car has the factory anti-theft system, so it is unlikely you somehow triggered that, but the aftermarket alarm may be an issue.

Did you by chance remove any wires from a black wire near the column?

I am just north of you in Centralia. If you see a tatty old E34 on big wheels with a satin black hood, thats me.

Hey Luke, turns out it was the alarm system. There was a bad crimp that I knocked loose that was connected to the ignition wire.

I may be booking into buying a sub enclosure from you sometime soon is local pickup an option?
