E30 318i Touring keyless entry

[gergototh]

Hello

I am new here and I am looking for some help.
I have a 1993 Touring with a 1.8 engine. I bought a keyless entry system for it but don't know where to start.

Checked so many forums, sites, haynes manual and most of the sites said put the keyless entry system into the boot, because the battery is there. But it isn't

So now i don't know which area should i start, so if anyone could help me I will be so happy

Thanks

The place to fit it is behind the glovebox area, where BMW have kindly positioned all the wires you need to connect it to.
I've posted many times over the years how to connect these up.
I'll see if I can find one of the posts for you.

Connections for the rightclick keyless entry systems are: Remove the orange and orange/black wires from the plug by pushing in the little tabs and pulling them out.
Connect the yellow, yellow/black, and black wires together and to a 6mm ring terminal. This goes to the earth stud at the back of the glovebox, where all the existing brown wires connect.
Red goes to 12 volts permanent live. This can be the red/yellow wire that connects to the accessories socket.
White (lock) and white/black (unlock) go to the lock and unlock request wires of the car, which are found behind the speaker panel, coming out from behind the speaker.
The two blue wires go to the blue/red and blue/black at the plug and socket beside the accessories socket."

E30 lock request wire is yellow/blue and unlock request is green/blue.
Note that I can't see the pic. you've posted properly, so I hope your units colours are the same as the Rightclick ones.

Thank you so much your help, you are a legend

The key also could move up the windows as well, if you know anything about it, should be really helpful

My post applies as written, except that your unit doesn't have two outputs (two blue wires) to flash each indicator. Yours has a single brown wire instead, labelled parking lights. Unfortunately, the E30 has two independent circuits for the parking lights, so needs two outputs to work them. This can be achieved by using two power diodes (1N4001 or similar) with their anodes connected together and to the brown wire, and their cathodes (end with band) connected one to each parking light circuit. Parking light wires are grey/white and grey/yellow, and are probably most easily accessed where they go down in the corner behind the LH speaker panel - the same place as you tee into the locking wires.
Remote boot release (one of the most pointless things ever invented IMHO) and window roll up are both possible, but require extra hardware.
The window roll up was actually a very rarely ticked option when E30s were new. So rare that I've never seen one.

Thanks again

What should happened if the wire labelled as parking light (don't understand why is parking light, never see that before) I will connect to the indicators?

I don't want the boot release thing, but thanks anyway. Also the window is not that important. None of my previous cars had so I think I could live without that option

Thank you so much your help

The unit may not be able to provide enough power to flash four indicator lights and repeaters without damage, and you'd need higher current rated diodes than 1n4001s.
If you insist on connecting to the indicators, I'd advise using a small double pole relay, with the coil connected between the brown wire and earth, the common contacts of the relay connected together and to the red/yellow that the units red is connected to, then connect the two NO contacts of the relay to the blue/black and blue red/wires at the dash plug.
