I had those aftermarket keyring style keyless entries in my E30 for ages but can't compare with my new E46 style key I made recently.
Works like a dream

What remote kit were you using? Where did you get your e46 style key?

All you need is complete kit that includes two E46/E39 style keys, remote unit and some cables!
We had group buy of these on Croatian bmw forum, that's how I get one...ebay is full of these, just check there
Then you need to copy your E30 key and remove blank that you get with E46 key, that's a little tricky but any man that runs ''key'' bussines will make it in less than 15 minutes
Now you wired it in car, it's a 20 minutes job and that's it..ofcourse you need to walk to your bmw dealer to pick up small BMW emblem that goes on key to look more extra for chicks:D
My friend made his recently and made some good pics, check these
1pic complete kit
2pic blanks as you get them
3pic voila! converted to E30 key
cro320 - the harness on your kit looks just like the harness I have !
Please help !
Can you provide information or a link as to what color wires do what?
Hi Simon,
I am not electrician, my friend wired that for me so I really have no clue what does any wire do.
I can dig some instructions when I get back home and post it here if it helps
Basically, the instructions I have show a bunch of lines from harness to car - with no color explaination.. and I can't seem to find anything online anywhere.. I don't know what wires to work with..

I have what I think is the same kit as cro320, from ebay seller jamsalman (united auto security). It includes a PDF installation manual, which I've posted up:
Figured I'd follow up with my experience with Rightclick.
They ended up sending me the wrong kit. (They told me to order a different kit but include in the order comments I wanted the BMW kit. I sent the order comment, an email, and even told them in my support ticket multiple times to make sure I received the BMW kit not the one I "ordered").
Anyway, I emailed them about the mix-up and they were more than happy to mail out the BMW style keys after I mailed back the keys they sent me. I sent them back, and the correct BMW style keys arrived shortly.
I just got it installed today and it works beautifully. The wire colors were identical to what's listed above, but the auxillary functions (flashing lights, trunk opening, window rolldown, etc) are slightly different. I just wanted keyless, so I pulled the other pins out of the connector and wired it up.
All I have left to do is find a place to cut the keys and I'll be in business.
