E36 OEM Keyless Remote - ????
Where would you get one of these if yours is lost..also approx how much?
is it possible to go to a place that hooks up alarms and program you a remote for cheaper than the cost of a new remote?
is it possible to buy one off of ebay and than program it yourself?
thanks

There's a local guy around here who sells all sorts of extra remotes. I picked one up for $35 and programmed it myself in 5 minutes...
I have a 2 button but he had quite few different ones. I can always get you his e-mail or I can get one and send it to you.
Oh, I found the instructions to program it on BFC:
Quote:
1. Close all doors, trunk, and hood.
2. The security system must be in "disarm" mode. The key must be removed from the ignition key slot.
Enter Code-Learning Mode
3. Open the trunk and leave it open.
4. Open the driver's door and sit in the driver's seat.
5. Close the driver's door.
6. Cycle the ignition switch five times between the "off" position and position 2 (ignition "ON", all dash warning lamps will illuminate). The red status LED will illuminate continuously, and the siren will "chirp" once, to indicate that the code-learning mode has been initiated.
DO NOT START THE ENGINE
The ignition switch cycling in step #6 must be performed within ten seconds.
The sequence in steps #1-6 must be performed within 45 seconds.
Registering/Delete ID Code(s)
7. Open driver's door, (remain seated in driver's seat)
8. Close driver's door.
9. Press and release any button on the remote you wish to register into the system. The status LED will shut off momentarily to indicate that one ID code has been registered.
10. Repeat steps 7 through 9 to register the remaining three ID codes.
Exiting Code-Learning Mode
11. Open driver's door, and exit from vehicle, leaving the door opened.
12. Close trunk.
13. Close driver's door. The LED will turn off and the siren will "chirp" twice.
14. The initialization procedure is now completed, test all remotes to confirm operation.
|
One last thing, for OBD1 you have to remove the key after cycling the key.

Depends on the module installed. Do you have the part number? I'm not sure how many different ones there were but I do know there are 2 and 3 button fobs that aren't interchangeable.

Get the part number off the keyless/alarm brain in the foot well of the passenger side.

This is the alarm I've got, 2 button and the "brain" looks the same. I guess there is a difference in years. OBD1 vs. OBD2 maybe?

I have a 98 and my keyless entry is the same as two posts above. It is the two button version. It's likely that is the one you need...

There should be a sticker that says prewired somewhre. I think it's somewhere in the trunklid but really, don't bitch at me if it isnt' there.
To the OP, get the part number off the "brain". I'm sure my guy has some, I can buy them and ship them or send them with my relatives but they're in Milton...
