Yes. And The Stellar Keyless Entry BMW45 is a bargain at only $100. Most people that want a keyless entry may want an alarm. So you may want to go that route.

BMP has some to choose from as well as most other BMW catalogs.

How about OEM? I have a connection at a dealership so I could get wholesale price.

there isnt a wiring harness in your E30s for the OEM alarms.

JCwhitney - $30, takes less than a half hour to install.

Don, do you have any installation instructions for our cars? I'd like to order this kit, but I'm a big dummy when it comes to electronics/wiring.

Thanks for the link(s)!

I would be interested in a write-up as well. That link has a lot of systems for cheap.

Do you have central locks? If so it's a piece of cake. If not, well you better look into that first! I installed Autoloc for $90 in the trunk, it took only about 1/2 hour.

I have central locking. I like that its a piece of cake

I'm not sure where to start yet though.

Any of you 325e body style owners ever have a problem with your door latch not securing when you shut the door? I let my car sit for a month and I think something siexed up?

The BMP is made by Stellar, same as Autoloc. It's a bit quirky but works fine. I also got the window modules and wired them into the remote, rolls up windows when I lock the car and I can roll them down with a third button. Or you can roll them up separately if you don't want to tie them to locking the car.

Funny you mention that. I took a trip to west virginia this weekend and noticed multiple times that my door didnt shut all the way. I had to shut it quite hard to get it to latch properly.

nice. I would like to do the windows as well. Personally I would like a nice small remote that has lots of buttons so I can make that its own operation. Ahh, the wish list is huge these days

i shaved my door locks and added an alarm system, with a 740il sound no problem it took me 2 hrs to install

**nateb** · 08-11-2003, 05:13 PM

shaved? do you have any pics?

I have the Autoloc system in my car. Works great for the most part.

**PimpOmatic** · 08-14-2003, 01:03 PM

Will any of these units activate the double lock feature? Or would it still have to be manually engaged?
