      I installed a remote central into a e30 the other day and found that installing into the lock and unlock request circuits is NOT the way to go, after a few locks and opens, it stopped working,

      So I installed the remote unlock and lock circuits directly into the actual lock and unlock
      circuits that drive the motors, this has now worked 100% without hitch,

      Just a note to others about to do this.
      Also the trunk unlock is connect on a separate channel from the other doors, so
      if that goes out, it stops working all together, while driving the motors never stops working

        I ordered this a few days ago, and i got a message from the seller saying something about me needed a module to reverse the polarity or something. Anyone know if I really need this? This is for an '88 325is.
        TIA

          Dont know about early models, It worked fine without an extra module for me on my late model. I think you'll be fine. Try it first. GL

                    Yeah, i picked one of these up for about 25 shipped, and have to say it is awesome. Keyless entry, I love it!

                    Anyway, i took some pics of my wiring, because I know it would have helped me a lot.

                    Blue, Blue, Green/Purple


                    Green, Green, Green/Black


                    Black, Brown


                    I hit my antenna up for some power, just ran some 16 gauge to the red, so this is red, red.

                            Desperately need a bit of help.

                            I've spliced my blue and green wires into the appropriate trunk wires, I'm getting power across the 12v line and the ground and if I plug the harness into the unit whilst the car is locked/unlocked the car will unlock/lock. However, neither of the remotes will unlock or lock the car.
                            Once the harness is plugged in I cannot use the trunk lock to unlock or lock the car, hoever, if I use the doors, the trunk will still lock/unlock.

                            Please help?

                              Just installed this yesterday in my '84 - big thank you to whoever posted the wiring color differences in the early cars, that was a big help.

                              I had a major "duh" moment when hooking this up - did the wiring, tested the remote, and it would only lock - no unlock. Went back and tore apart all my wiring to check it, tried it again and same thing. Then I had the stroke of genius to try with the trunk shut - lo and behold, it works perfect! :curse:

                              Even with doing the wiring twice this only took me about 40 minutes to install, and now I don't have to unlock the driver's door from the trunk and I am VERY happy. Well worth the $27 shipped or whatever I paid for it. :)
