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

[cbouchez]

The picture shows the colour of the cable with the constant power (red/green). The rest of the are the same as the coupes or sedans.

Couldn't just sit and wait for the manual, mate, and bought a keyless entry system different from yours (as i'm not in the US). It's a shame for me, majoring engineering, to just sit and wait for instruction for a couple of wires! Without a multimeter and shit i ran the wires like the diagram in the keyless unit box and... nothing! :D And that's where i began to connect different wires and try all possible combinations and i finished with the combination of wires, cut the 3 extra wires and insulated them, ran a longer wire for the antenna and assembled all together. Now i have a beautifully working keyless entry system on my car!

Guys, say NO to the broken key locks etc. ! Save yourself the pain in the ass to lock from passengers door etc.

Didn't took photos of the install, but it's like the sedan/coupes (according to the manual in the topic) I just got an extra ground wire (2 ground wires total). Got the const. 12V from the trunk dome light. Found a place for the control unit near the rear window washer tank, it sits there tight.

Here is a little video i made:

Thank you guys for the topic, opened my mind wide for the solution of the stupid broken key locks and saved me from the embarassement to lock my drivers door from the rear drivers door!

That would be very helpful for me, thank you!
Yeah, a pain indeed with our small holed doors, not like the coupes! I hurted my arms like 50 times reaching for the stupid microswitch in the passengers door (it was in bad condition).

^^ I hear you I had to fix mine as well. A pain!

I'll get a picture for you today. I have the system on the rear compartment by the first aid kit pretty easy to install. It took me some time to figure out because it's different from the other e30's

Thank you touring mate! Appreciate it!
Today i spent like 6 hours to get my CL working and now is DONE, all 6 lock mechs are in working condition locking and unlocking. I just need the keyless entry because my key mechs are fucked up and don't always lock/unlock.

[cbouchez]

I'll get you some info when I get home. Ground is the same.

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...

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

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.

Turn the key see what happens.... Even my 86 had power locks

[CB-M3]

did all E30s come with power locking system? I'm not sure if I have tested mine yet with the key turned 90 deg to see if it locks all doors.
