I didn't, actually. I read the first half a dozen pages and then kind of skipped around...I'm not surprised you've been telling them though. I was pretty surprised to hear how this was being installed.
In addition to bad crimpers, it could be a bad crimp location as well...you want your crimp to push down on the side of the butt connector where the indent is in the connector itself. Sorry no pics, does that make sense?92 325ic 5 speed, hard top, windscreen, 133k, for sale

I personally have had good luck with solder and shrink tubing. The problem you can run into with solder is in a high vibration environment. The solder makes the end of the wire solid and that can cause cracks in the wire strands. This is why aircraft only use crimp connections. I just don't think the vibration frequency in a STREET car is high enough for a good solder and shrink tubing deal go bad.

ALL auto manufacturers have stopped using solder. The reason is simple...cut apart a 3 or 4 year old solder connection and you will have corrosion. Not in the joint itself, but an inch up either side of the wire...the flux (rosin core or not) will wick up the wire and corrode.
Inside the car, heatshrink is nifty and all, but just normal butt connectors work great, unless you use the wrong size or shitty crimpers.

i just tried to install a Omega REC 11 keyless entry on my 91 318i. I followed the DIY write up on page 1, but the problem is when I connect all the plugs into the unit, it locks all the doors itself and can't unlock by using the remote.(can hear the click sound from the unit)
Green to Green/Black
Blue to Green/Purple
Red to Antenna Red also tried to connect to the Battery
Black to Antenna Ground also tried to connect to the Brown
That's what I did for the wires
Can someone tell me what I did wrong??
Thanks for the help

I will be installing one of these Code Alarm units this weekend, will let everyone know how it goes (won't be installing siren or light flash relay, just the keyless entry).
