So I think I have it figured out.
The questions NEVER end... Sorry.
So there was a cellular system installed in my car. Audiovox/Motorola.
That's what all these wires are under my seat. They tapped into the alarm, for some reason.
Does anyone have ANY ideas if it's possible to undo it and hook the alarm back up??
The input wire to the brain is UNplugged and and the little box that goes to the battery is off.
I REALLY want my alarm so any input is G R E A T L Y appreciated.
THANKS!!

Well Q posted a diagaram maybe 6 months back outlining standard equipment on our cars.
1995 525is didn't get the alarm brain while the 530/540 did. I'm trying to figure out what that brain does.

Hey, thanks for responding. I really am working on getting the alarm stuff to work....
So, I may be confusing the brain with the black box pictured. I do have that box under my seat... But it's all raped by that STUPID phone system.
Tomorrow I'm going to head over the Euro junkyard and see if I can get a wiring harness... and rip that STUPID phone system out. Anyone see a problem with this??? I'm nervous about it....
What ALL does the harness include? I just need the green connector harness... That's all that is tapped into.
BTW: Q is a damn GENIUS!!!

Okay, that's the black box that I have (err...took apart and screwed it up. Don't do that.)
I wish I had a camera to show you my harness.

Hmm, well if I hooked it up and got a remote, wouldn't it damage the control box somehow??
I dont know if the phone is active/powered.... The handset IS NOT there.
So DONT get a harness? I dont even have a remote yet either, I'm going to check to see if they carry them tomorrow.
Where is Q?!?!?!?!?!?!

What is different between your control unit and the one on Q's CarDomain?
When you get a remote, there is a chip in it. You take the chip out of the remote and put it in a holder in the control unit. You press the reset button and VOILA, or that's how it is according to the manual...

Hmmm, I dont think anything is different?
I'm going to take that STUPID phone thing out. Then I'm going to get a harness and hook it up to the alarm. That little box goes on the battery, right?
WOW, it's THAT easy?
