View Full Version : Alarm problems Brashland 01-25-2008, 11:19 AM Since I'm not having much luck on the electronics section: Alarms on E36 convertibles was optional? Keyless entry onE36 convertibles was standard? CabrioArtie 01-25-2008, 09:45 PM yes no Brashland 01-28-2008, 02:01 PM Hrm.. OK. (considering it's a 99) Can you have keyless entry without the alarm? ronomonroe 01-28-2008, 02:05 PM I have a question- I just bought a ti and the dealer says it does not have keyless entry available, what is the little red light near the cigarette lighter for? Does it have alarm without keyless entry? Brashland 01-31-2008, 07:40 PM Don't threadjack, I'm having problems here!!! Can the brains of the alarm be swapped out/replaced with any OEM system?

Does it have alarm without keyless entry? Ti? This is the vert section, why not try the Compact session... wsmc831 02-01-2008, 12:26 PM Don't threadjack, I'm having problems here!!! Can the brains of the alarm be swapped out/replaced with any OEM system? pretty sure you can get one from any E36, and possibly other models... should be able to find an OEM part number for the alarm and compare that with others. mitch smith 02-01-2008, 12:38 PM BAVAUTO also sells the BMW alarms. I think Stellar makes the factory alarms!! wsmc831 02-01-2008, 12:39 PM I don't think Stellar makes the factory alarms. The factory alarms work, stellars are absolute crap. MParallel 02-01-2008, 12:51 PM Keep in mind there is a difference in factory-fitted alarms and BMW-approved alarms that were build in later. For the e36, your best off with the BMW option 302 "Alarm with remote control" which is the EWS2 system. Identifiable by the EWS 2 key, which is central locking/key/alarmfob in one. Here's my never used spare one: http://www.idon-industries.com/bimmer/ews2key_02.jpg http://www.idon-industries.com/bimmer/ews2key_03.jpg CabrioArtie 02-01-2008, 09:39 PM That alarm and key fob was not available in the states. The alarm part number for a US 96+ car is: 82 11 1 469 444 Brashland 02-04-2008, 02:09 PM Update: went to the local indy shop to see if they could give any free advice, but they weren't too confident in suggesting anything. So Saturday afternoon I took the kickpanel off to look at it, unplugged the whole thing, checked the fuse, checked the antenna, blew out the connection area, and plugged it back in. While there I decided to try the fob right next to the unit (just in case is was an antenna problem). This time, the spare fob worked but the main one still didn't, so I really don't know what happened. |
