94 bmw 325ic compustar not recognized

Meter the wires, visually sometimes doesn't tell you about a partially blown fuse. Also, make sure that the antenna is properly plugged into the cable from the Compustar to the antenna.Jeff

oh the model is also a compustar 2000as

Still, shouldn't I at least be getting a chirp or parking lights?

OK I tried new fuses.. no difference. Seems like the brain is dead.

Check the unit's ground wires, should be on the nuts to the side where you have factory grounds. That window lowering made me think of it, that car  should normally drop the windows 1" on closing the door, then lift them back.

The ground is tight and secure.

Green wire gets voltage when ignition turns on / off, red wire gets constant 12v. Is the problem my wiring or the brain??

Light green on car loom is main ignition, will show 12 volts+ on ign and cranking.  Starter lead at ignition will be either BLACK / YELLOW or light GREEN/ black,  main power at igniton, RED / blue and or RED / green*.  Purple at ignition has to be connected as 2nd. ignition. Don't conect acc output from R/S   * Might even be plain red.

It all seems to be wired correctly. Powerr wired to necessary spots. I just don't get ANY feedback that an alarm is there.

could be a bad remote, bad antenna, remote not programmed, or in valet mode. Is it a 2-way remote? Does the remote do anything when you put a battery in? Play a musical jingle perhaps? Is this your system?: Manual May want to read thru it. If you don't hear a soft click from the alarm brain after doing the key on/off 5 times then there appears to be an alarm brain problem. That is an older unit from back before I started using Compustar so I'm not really familiar with it.
