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

[SimplyDope]

I wired mine in about a week or so ago (REC-43T) and it's been working flawlessly since. Best $30 I've spent on this car. Follow the directions from the link posted above and it should work fine.

I hooked it all up but my CLU is bad & IDK what it looks like lol

Woaaa too late I guess but thanks for the heads up, I got my stuff in 4 days no prob.

What wires did you connect? I only did the red and black (power & ground) and the white, whte/black to the green/black, greeb/violet

well that sucks for me, but good for you! and those wires work? i'm just connecting the white and white/black wires to the green/black and yellow/black wires from the trunk. and the power and ground, also.

In case anyone else is considering it DO NOT BUY FROM RIGHTCLICK. They have caused me nothing but problems. I paid for FedEx 3 day air and they shipped it via Royal Mail. Once i got it 17 days later their key blades are too narrow and wont fit in the locks correctly. When i asked for a refund or new blades they ignored me. Dont really have anything good to say about them, other than the kit itself isnt bad.

Cliffs: RightClick sucks a bag of dicks, customer service is nonexistant, decent quality kit other than the keys not fitting.

the possibility the car's actuators need replacement. look inside behind the trunk panel and see if you have an actuator there. if you have it, then you have central locking and it just needs a replacement. your doors should have them too.

None of my locks work....Only the passenger side and my trunk lock from using the key.

When I use the trunk lock none of my locks go with it...So I'm guessing my car doesn't have central locking? Or is there a proper diagnosis to go about finding the problem with the central system??

I'm guessing if there is, I should start with my drivers side door because that lock doesn't even work...Its hard to get it to turn, and then it doesn't even lock...

Scratch that, figured it out.

Just ordered from RightClick, $60 US.. Ill post pics when installed

bumpy!

Stephen, I am gonna send you pics soon, but the green wire on your Scytek goes to the brown/purple behind your speaker. It gets a signal from all doors, but not hood or trunk.

Luke, what exactly does this tap do? As you can see on my alarm's diagram, I have one positive and one negative for the door trigger. I tried plugging each one in one at a time and testing for any changes and behavior and as far as I can tell it might as well not be tapped at all.

There is a trunk trigger, but it is only from the switch to the light, it does not go outside the trunk lid.

Your G20 should have 2 relays (for lock and unlock) or it will die soon.

[bmwstephen]

appreciate it luke. sorry to bug you. I figured you were busy so I decided to just research on the side to clean up that hack job. also I've been reading your old posts where you mentioned that the keyless entry requires a relay in the alarm. I'm not quite sure if my alarm has that been I've been able to unlock and lock just fine. also, do e30's even have a trunk trigger? I'm getting info where some people say they do while others don't

If the alarm offers Door Trigger Input wires are they even applicable on our cars? I don't see how they work

Ok, you know I love you guys right? But so far, the only thing anyone has to say on this forum is how cheap the REC is, how easy it was to install, and how much they love it.

Meanwhile, I seem to be having a real problem figuring out how to get mine to work, been posting up questions and requesting advice for days, and so far nobody has had anything to say.

I'm sorry, I'm just losing my patience with this damn thing, and I need freaking help!

The only possible reason I can think of is that there is a problem with the central locking system's wiring in a place that isn't visible. Other than that, I don't know what I could be doing wrong. I followed all the directions, wired everything up properly, programming the transmitter properly, and yet, still no worky.

AAAARRRRGHGGG!!!!

When you lock you're door on the driver side with your key do all your doors lock? If you lock your driver door and want to test your keyless after don't activate the deadlock because often these remotes won't operate with deadlock on. man I don't know what to say, test voltages and shit

Goodluck D':
