/noob post haha (forgive me as im new to e30s :) )

ok now everyone is doing this to their e30s it seems, and they have power locks, generally i think of power locks as lock button on the door but the e30 has no lock buttons on the door but if i turn the key 90 degrees all the doors lock or unlock, just like if i unlock/lock through the trunk, so im assuming this is the same setup as everyone? and i will be able to use this keyless entry,
im assuming this is the one everyone is talking about correct?

and just wire it in the trunk as everyone else was talking about?
thanks
and if this is what you guys are talking about then i think ill be ordering one in the morning :) woohoo
itll definetly come in handy in the rain when trying to run around the car opening the other door for people :)

that was painful to read.

Yes.

Oh my gosh, I SOOO agree!!

ANYWAY,

I ordered mine off of ebay earlier this week, got it mid week and INSTALLED IT TODAY!!

I am THRILLED!! I was very worried that I wouldn't get the wiring right and completely immobilize my car, BUT I did more research than was probably necessary and prevailed!

I swung by my mechanics to drop off my old US grills for one of his employees, he was thoroughly impressed! But then again, he is a nice guy. :)

SO, if I can do it, ANYONE can. I highly recommend this cheap mod to anyone on here that wants key less entry!

This thread is pathetic, are you guys so helpless you need an illustrated write up to splice in like 5 wires? Damn, I hope none of you plan on doing an M50 swap, let alone ever working on a car stereo.

i think they'rea aasking for a writeup on connecting into something up front, but in the trunk.

i ended up not having power through my wires, but power at the source of them, which threw off the rest of my trial and error. It also helps to know what wires you're supposed to splice into, which i didn't, i had to guess pretty much cause all the guide's were down and the how-to included with the item was for a driver side kick panel install.,

got it working. nm

[Kruzen]

for clarification, the blue's are going to green/black and the green's are going to green/purple.

vice-versa does not help.

and yes, the wires like that are just temporary.

[Kruzen]

this is fucking rediculous

At first i was using the wrong harness (dumb is me)
I was originally using vampire tap's cause they're nice and easy to clean up and not too intrusive on the wiring.

After vampire tap's didn't work, i opened up the shielding on everything in the correct harness and started testing shit out. NOTHING FUCKING WORKS. but i can unlcok/lock my trunk with the key just fine.


i've tapped into everything and it wont workl

[Kruzen]

what colors do you splice into what? i see no 'yellow and blue' only a green and blue.

[e30 gangsta]
