Hopefully someone can straighten this out for me.
I want to retrofit my 88 325 with the OBC. (I have an 86es which came with an OBC-this will come in latr). I went to the junkyard and found an 89is. Pulled all the stuff from inside, and decided, what the hell, I'm going to grab the alarm from the front. So I followed the wiring and it went to a metal box mounted under the wheelhouse in front, in the area just UNDER the ABS. Well, the box was pretty rusty so, I took it anyway since it was free:)
Installing the system in the 88, I looked at my 86, but the alarm box on the 86 is plastic, and mounts on the top of the drivers side strut tower.
OK, here's the question:
Was the 89is system OEM, or did someone retrofit something somewhere along the line? The alarms seemed pretty different, in location where they were mounted and appearance.
