anyone know these wire colours?

[bmw9818]

connecting up my car alarm, and it says to connect white/black to postive of battery indicator on the dashboard, dont really want to take the cluster out again,

wodnering if anyone knew the colour code of the wire cant find it on any diagrams online, so i could try find it somewhere under the glovebox if it goes through there also -

the handbrake - negative

brake light - pos

and interior light neg

thanks!

its one of those remote start ones, apparantly you have to connect it to that so you that it can check whether or not the vehicles safe to start along with the rest,

they havnt supplied hardly anything diagram is very wrong and hard to understand,

il have a look today and post a pic if im not sure,

thanks

I would check with your insurance company before fitting. I believe its illegal to leave a car running unattended and people have been nicked for using remote start things.
Another reason not to fit is you are increasing the wear on the engine internals by leaving a cold engine idling

The charge light lead is blue, you will find it at pin#1 on the C101 plug. From there it runs behind the glovebox to the dash cluster to pin#16 on the blue plug.

I am not sure why you need to connect a wire to it, do they supply a diagram with the alarm so you can be sure you are doing it right? If you could post it up we could make sure you are not about to nuke your dash/alternator...

I have never had to connect a wire to the charge light for any alarm I have ever fitted, (and i have fitted lots) that is why I am asking.

i just had a look today is it the thin blue wire?, it connects to the blue plug in the cluster, theres also another blue wire but its thicker,

i found these wires under the gbox

never heard of it being illegal, few of my mates have got it there cars as well, more for show purposes anyway,

Is it one of those cheap aolin alarms?
Cuz they are crap, i`ve got one and every few months the remote looses sinc with the "brain" and it has to be reset.
Got to admit though it is nice to get in a warm car and not having to scrap ice off in the morning after using the remote start.
Dont understand how they can be illegal.

its a rightclick car alarm, paid about 60quid for checked out feedback and that, seller seemed legit, build quality and that seem to be good so far, il see what it does when i get it going

Unless the car is on private property, they are illegal in the UK!
