remote central locking

[Danny06]

My 325i sport is all delocked apart from the boot and it dosent have remote central locking so i have to open and lock it from the boot witch can be a real pian in the ass some times lol. Were can you buy a good remote central locking kit to suit an e30? any links would be very helpful.

I brought a alarm off eBay for 30quid, about a day to wire in works lovely, il add a link later

[asmith88]

ebay has a few good kits for cheap, quite easy to fit, i however had a lot of problems with my seller..

car_alarms, dont buy of them

Conventional alarms/immobilisers are a waste of time on an E30 - they're so ridiculously easy to defeat, but remote central locking is useful.
All the kits seem to have similar wiring, and I (and others) have posted the details of how and where to connect them many times on here. A quick search should bring a few up.

Remote central locking is so easy to fit, see below from a Quick search it'll help with getting it in. I'm about to fit a system purely for the remote CL which I brought from another zoner but was originally from http://www.rclick.co.uk/product_info.ph ... cts_id=484 Quality looks fine and I can get a key cut so the fob/key are one part like moderen cars......

Yellow/blue is lock request and green/blue is unlock request. Pick them both up where they emerge from behind the LH speaker panel, along with the interior light wire.
Indicators are blue/red and blue/black and are at the plug in the rear left of the glovebox.
Earth is the stud with all the brown wires above the glovebox.
12V constant live is the top left of the accessories socket.
Ignition interrupt is a white two pin socket with two green wires, fitted with a plug with a loop of wire, above the glovebox.
Starter interrupt is a black single pole plug and socket each with a black/yellow wire also above the glovebox.
Fuel pump is a green/purple wire which comes out of the duct at the back of the glovebox and disappears behind the LH speaker panel.

Brian what would you class as a good alarm system for an E30 or is there no such thing? I could do with getting something decent for my 335.

First requirement for an alarm is that it has its own internal battery. Any alarm that relies on the car's own battery is silenced in seconds by cutting the battery earth lead.
Who takes any notice of car alarms, anyway? I've worked on cars by the road/street side with the alarms blaring away, silenced the alarm, and driven them away. As long as you look like you should be doing what you're doing, no one takes any notice at all!
The normal immobiliser functions of these alarms are even more ludicrously easy to defeat. Ignition and starter immobiliser circuits take about two seconds each, although if the fuel pump is included it can take a while longer - maybe a minute.
As I've posted before, the best immobiliser for an E30 is a secret, or obvious, but unlabelled, switch which SHORT CIRCUITS the fuel pump supply.
A more sophisticated approach would be to cut into wires that feed the ECU , between the hole in the bulkhead where the engine loom goes through, and the ECU plug itself.
Very late M40 ECUs actually have a wire for use as an immobiliser.

Try searching for a brand called "Rightclick".

I have installed two of these into an E30 and its very easy to do.

Also you can get the Fob / Keyblank that looks like the E36 ones so no need for seperate key and Fob.

Cheer's guys gona order a kit up from these guy's.

I had a Rightclick Remote Central Locking and will be putting one in my E34 at some stage. Was amazed at how far from the car it would lock/unlock.

Dangerously far! I have three of these kits in use, and on more than one occasion I've reached my car and found it already unlocked.

[robbo86]

Yeah I guess so! What worried me more was a zoner friend of mine who has a Jag XF. He was helping me under my e30 when I did my m42 conversion rolling all over the floor, a good 40 metres from his car in a garage when a neighbour knocked on the door on the offchance we were in there and knew whos car had the wide open and doors all unlocked!!! Thank god for some conscientious neighbours, was some valuables in his boot and due to having the door of the garage shut to keep the warm in, we wouldnt have ever known.

Goodmorning all!

I'll be getting a remote lock/unlock kit for my E30, no need for alarms etc and came to this thread through searching. From what I understood I only need these info to wire it properly:

Yellow/blue is lock request and green/blue is unlock request. Pick them both up where they emerge from behind the LH speaker panel, along with the interior light wire.
Indicators are blue/red and blue/black and are at the plug in the rear left of the glovebox.
Earth is the stud with all the brown wires above the glovebox.
12V constant live is the top left of the accessories socket.

Don't know if it's a stupid question or not, but I'd like to use the kit this seller has Clicky. Obviously it contains an uncut key, can I get one made for the E30 to fit there? Long shot I know, just wondering if by any chance somebody did it


Thanks!

Which one of these kits would be best for an e30? Or would any be ok?

[Brianmoooore]

They are generally all the same unit with different remote fobs.

[kitch]

Awesome, thank you. I did think they all sounded the same but I'm not clued up on car electrics at all

What colur of wires are for the interiror light?

[Brianmoooore]

What colur of wires are for the interiror light?

Brown/purple.

[SpencerLavery]

Brian I'm sorry if this has been asked before - search didn't return anything - but is it possible to use the rightclick kit's Window Closure feature with the E30? If so do you know which colour wires I'd need to tap into on a 2 door 320i (1989)?

[cypriot_boy_2k7]

whats the key shape to the e30 on that site?
