I am ashamed to say that I am a premature spender... I bought what I thought was a really great unit (midnight eBay goggles) prior to seeing the great reviews about the more popular choices in this thread, but have come to really regret the $35 expenditure as I am not sure what to do with it due to the instructions that came with it, which I would rate somewhere between kindling and toilet paper. Please, someone, help... This is the unit on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Remote-Centr...ht_3092wt_1107. Wire diagram below...
I have searched and understand what wires do what in the trunk of my car, but I don't understand, based on these instructions, how to simply make my car have keyless lock and unlock without the shock of returning to my car in a parking lot and watching it burn to the ground. Again, please help...

I got the TNTAutoTuning.com E46 Key Fob Keyless entry unit working.
Keyless Entry Unit: http://tntautotuning.com/store/en/re...-z4-x3-x5.html
This still gets installed in the trunk and still pulls 12v from the antennae motor.
Twist the blue and the Yellow/black wire on the Keyless Unit together.
Car Wire - Keyless Wire - Function
Brown - Black - Ground
Red (Antennae) - Red - Powers the Unit
Green/Black - Yellow - Lock
Green/Purple - Brown - Unlock
Brown - Blue &Yellow/Black - Grounding for Units internal relays.
Here is an atrocious picture of it wired up:
I have not gotten it soldered together and cleaned up yet. My buddy came over and helped me get it sorted on a lunch break.
Here it is all clean.

Have you had the key made for the ignition lock yet? If so how did it work.

Can anybody give a clue how to install keyless on E30 touring? I never looked the wires back in the trunk and don't know if their colors are the same as sedan/coupe. Also from where can i get constant 12V? From the trunk light must be a bitch i think. Same for ground? Thanks in advance.
P.S Do you guys think the trunk is the only way where i can put keyless module , because my drivers door lock mech. is fucked up, you know the problems with the lock "stick" inside the door can't get all the way down and pop up with key in lock position...
