    Post Aftermarket keyless entry

    Hey guys!

    I was wondering if I could fit a simple aftermarket keyless entry module to my E36.

    My car is a 92' 318IS Coupe, and it has no factory alarm, I can lock/unlock it manually with my key, my key has no electronics aswell.
    I'm not so familiar with the factory locks but when I unlock it with my key it unlocks all sides so is there a module that I can tap the aftermarket entry system in?

    Thanks in advance!

    Your car is probably a EURO model, not a US, the US model : **Most BMW’s are pre-wired for a security system. Usually, there is a sticker inside the trunk which indicates if your BMW is pre-wired for a security system. Depending on the year and model of your vehicle, the alarm port will be located in the following areas, behind the glove box, under the rear seat, or other location.

    Of course there are cheaper systems for maybe EURO 30 , but then you have to do the wiring by your own. Example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX88WP3uTKY
