E36 - Aftermarket Alarm pulled - NOW WHAT? Extra unattached wires, where do they go??

[Bimmered Out]

Yeah, This sounds pretty simple, buy a great low mileage M3 (75K Miles) and do a little de-modifications to it. I.E: get rid of the aftermarket sound system, lowered shocks, AND the alarm system.
Also, this is a 1997 sedan M3...

Well, I managed to pull out all the fobs and wiring and whatever was attached that was draining the battery, only to find that eight or so wires, now don't go anywhere (Under the glove compartment) and trace them to literally nowhere.. The aftermarket alarm was a clifford, and was apparently attached to EVERYTHING, including it's own horn under the hood, and the battery, as well as some other items which would mess with the door locks.

Any help anyone? I am stumped, and read BMW wiring diagrams like I'm reading sandscript.. I am guessing that they attach to a collection to a control module/clip that probably plugs into the back of the actual stock BMW alarm, or maybe into some of the connectors under there?

SO many, and no places that look like they were pulled from...

Thanks!

Hi,

find a local reputable and knowledgeable auto electrics specialist and/or reputable car audio/alarm installers in your area and have them take a look and resolve for you.

Cheers, Dennis!

Judging by the area where these wires a relocated, I would think that they went to the place where factory alarm would hook up. My M3 is in the shop for a bit, otherwise I would've looked up the OEM wiring colors that go into my OEM BMW OBDII alarm. After you gutted aftermarket alarm, do you have any remaining issues to sort through or is it just the fact that you have wires "left over"?

Ok, here is the car side plug of OBDI vehicle that has OE alarm plug into. If it matches what you have for wiring and want that plug + some wiring - let me know.
