My Favorite $30 Mod so far...(keyless entry)

[Simon S]

cro320 - the harness on your kit looks just like the harness I have !

Please help !

Can you provide information or a link as to what color wires do what?

[cro320]

All you need is complete kit that includes two E46/E39 style keys, remote unit and some cables!
We had group buy of these on Croatian bmw forum, that's how I get one...ebay is full of these, just check there
Then you need to copy your E30 key and remove blank that you get with E46 key, that's a little tricky but any man that runs ''key'' bussines will make it in less than 15 minutes
Now you wired it in car, it's a 20 minutes job and that's it..ofcourse you need to walk to your bmw dealer to pick up small BMW emblem that goes on key to look more extra for chicks:D

My friend made his recently and made some good pics, check these

1pic complete kit
2pic blanks as you get them
3pic voila! converted to E30 key

Hope it helps!

I had those aftermarket keyring style keyless entries in my E30 for ages but can't compare with my new E46 style key I made recently.
Works like a dream

What remote kit were you using? Where did you get your e46 style key?

Can anyone provide help regarding an Octopus unit ?

For the love of Zeus – I can find no information on what wire does what..

It's cheaper from TNT.

I emailed rightclick on 3/19/2011 about the new style BMW keys and they said that they were getting more stock in 4-6 weeks...so hopefully they have them soon because I want to order that unit also.

EDIT: Just sent them an email checking up on it, so I'll let you know what happens.

[profbooty]

Rightclick doesn't list them anymore, anyone know of another source with BMW styled keys?

^^+1 Got mine from them. eBay can't be beat for stuff like this.

Any opinions from this place?

Question: On my vert, the only way to centrally lock the car is to turn the key in the trunk lock cylinder. Will this unit be able to lock everything up? Thanks.

UPDATE: Everything still works perfectly. Only one "problem" though...can't program the 2nd remote to work. I held down the transmitter program button but it only beeps once and lets me program the 1st one over and over. It will never beep twice for the second one. Any ideas?
