Need help with alarm

[golangti]

Is there a difference between OBD1 and OBD2 alarm?

I bought it from a guy with a 1995 m3 and mine is 1997. would it still work?
the fob has 2 buttons.
After plugging everything I cannot get the led to illuminate continuously.
I've been following the instructions with no luck.

TIA

Which instructions have you been following?

[golangti]

These instructions (I can't get it to learning mode):

1. Close all doors, trunk, and hood.
2. The security system must be in "disarm" mode. The key must be removed from the ignition key slot.

Enter Code-Learning Mode
3. Open the trunk and leave it open.
4. Open the driver's door and sit in the driver's seat.
5. Close the driver's door.
6. Cycle the ignition switch five times between the "off" position and position 2 (ignition "ON", all dash warning lamps will illuminate). The red status LED will illuminate continuously, and the siren will "chirp" once, to indicate that the code-learning mode has been initiated.

DO NOT START THE ENGINE

The ignition switch cycling in step #6 must be performed within ten seconds.

The sequence in steps #1-6 must be performed within 45 seconds.

Registering/Delete ID Code(s)
7. Open driver's door, (remain seated in driver's seat)
8. Close driver's door.
9. Press and release any button on the remote you wish to register into the system. The status LED will shut off momentarily to indicate that one ID code has been registered.
10. Repeat steps 7 through 9 to register the remaining three ID codes.

Exiting Code-Learning Mode
11. Open driver's door, and exit from vehicle, leaving the door opened.
12. Close trunk.
13. Close driver's door. The LED will turn off and the siren will "chirp" twice.
14. The initialization procedure is now completed, test all remotes to confirm operation.

There are different alarms for pre-96 and 96+ cars. As far as I know the earlier version will not work with the 96+ cars.

But, the number of buttons on your fob is correct, the older version had three buttons. Maybe you have parts from two different versions. The part number on the brain should be '82 11 1 469 445' and the part number on the key fob should be 82 11 1 469 448.

Do a thread search - you will get all your answers, but I beleive you have a compatability issue.

Already searched- nothing there.
