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

Fix your central mechanism first.

It works fine.

[cbouchez]

When you use your key on the driver side locks all all doors and trunk?

[cbouchez]

Where is a constant 12v power source


NO battery in trunk
NO antenna in the trunk.

Any other options?

Central locking mechanism has 4 wires.

1 unlock
2 lock
3 ?
4 ?

I have the ddor lock actuator with a:

white=
blue =
brown = ground
green/black (I think) I know it controls the lock
greenk/blue (I think) I know it controls the unlock

Which one is constant 12+

Holy hot shit I finally got this thing working. Had to replace my CL computer and a couple of actuators. Still, I can't figure out if it's possible to use the double button feature that pops open the trunk. Anyone have any success with this?

I realize that the blue wire on the 4 pin is reserved for trunk latch, but I'm not sure where to stick it.

Does anyone know of a more up-to-date install thread for an E36? I've got the Omega K-9 Mundial 4 alarm.

Please for a wiring diagram...it is your friend when doing anything on a BMW.

like to report back:
I have been using the omega rec 43 for over a year now and no problems

keys went through the washing machine and dryer and the unit is still working.

[cbouchez]

I got mine to work a while back and works just fine unlocks all 4 doors and trunk. Flashing lights would be great but for the $ its alll good.

[iwantspeed]

can we add a aftermarket horn.?
and tap the lock wire to trigger a relay for a horn?

[bastianshaw]

can some posta fresh link to the e46 keys w a whole kit?

[trackjunkie21]

depends why your antenna doesn't work...




Maybe this would be a good place to post my question.. I installed my system a couple months ago, and only got the lock function to work. I cut into the trunk wires to use the trunk lock. I wired everything up correctly, except it won't unlock. Even if i stick the key in the trunk and unlock it it will not unlock all the doors. Anyone know whats up?

I had a similar problem, turned out to be a wire that got cut under my seat.

installed today works awesome.
wire color is correct just needs to have the two wire pin installed as well. same colors apply. for constant i read the res wire to the antena was being used. sure enough it works with it. i attached red wire to re wire on the antena. just need to go back and clean up some wiring.
