Well done, Josh. Glad you got it sorted eventually!

[josh-hocking]

thanks it was quite easy in the end

[Brianmoooore]

I bought two of these on the strength of the original thread, and am just about to fit the first one now!
Seems to be quite well made kit with self contained fusing.
One small niggle is that there is only one output to flash the lights for arming/disarming, and an E30 needs two. There are two diodes included in the box which are for this purpose, but absolutely no indication of what they are for!
The two remotes are 'self learning', which could be an advantage as long as they don't suffer from memory troubles, as remote replacement is easier.

would that mean that any body else would be able to buy the same kit and unlock your car though?

not without being near the remote relay as you have to delete the memory via a button on the relay for a remote to set its self up! HTH

[Rkive]

[FlappySocks]

I just got mine, and had the blank key cut at my local locksmith. Really nice bit of kit for the money. Also has a window closure output, which will work with the appropriate module.

[whipsey]

do you get the key blank as well then?

[josh-hocking]

yep!

[agreen]

so do you get the bmw key or the flip keys and get them cut the flip keys arein the bay advert ???

looks complicated is it really tat easy to fit

[josh-hocking]

im 14 and fitted it! and no you get the flip key

[agreen]

have you got a pic of the remote you get thanks and you just use the standard key i like the key above but i wonder if you can get the buttons working

[FlappySocks]

The key above is the key they supplied me, and yes the buttons work.

[agreen]

The key above is the key they supplied me, and yes the buttons work.

done thanks did you get the boot thing working ?

i hope its easy to fit my brain hurts already lol

[Brianmoooore]

done thanks did you get the boot thing working ?

There's no electrical release for the boot on an E30, so it can't be used. Not without adding some aftermarket solenoid, anyway.
Why anyone should want to release the boot lid with a remote control escapes me!

[Gibson]

how easy was it too fit? im tempted!

[Brianmoooore]

how easy was it too fit? im tempted!

Easy! Six connections around the glovebox area.

[1an]

brian would this solve the problem i have with only being able to unlock the car from the boot by installing this? i take it is real simple then?

[grantfk10]

I'm tempted, but I'm sh*t when it comes to electrics - would someone post detailed instructions if I get this?

[Brianmoooore]

It's not the ideal way of solving the problem, but it should work.

I fitted one yesterday, so I have the wiring details!

[joker]

Any chance of posting the wiring details brianmoooore?

Why would you want to install remote central locking in the first place? Chances are because you want to save time. Same Idea behind a remote unlocking boot, it's saves time (it may just be a couple of seconds, but it's probably the same amount of time it would take to lock your doors manually).

[josh-hocking]

oh well its more fun

[Gibson]

because remote control shit is fun! why would you want a 1/10th scale radio control tank that fires BBs scares the shit out of the Cat.... you dont need it but lets face it most of us guys on here would want one!
its all about the big boys toys
