Looking to install a remote DEI starter on a BMW X3 and looking for wiring diagram.

Been told that it cannot be done due to the door locks??

Any help would be appreciated.

Pete

Chris, it's wiremagic.......2006 bmw x3 remote start -- posted image.

I wish the astro program was able to copy and paste.....but they have ALL the back doors closed and locked.

Astro's tech info is tops.

Sorry I'm late on this one, usual internet problems but I noticed something on Gary's chart, this vehicle is almost identical to the E46 3 Series but that uses a blue/red to unlock, also on the E46 both are neg pulse and extend  lock for total close. N.B. Trunk contact should be WHITE/ brown and hood purple green at factory hood switch, glove box removal not required, pick-up lock wires from drivers door return into kickwell. Brakelights, please check for voltage at switch, its data going on the E46 so you have to pick up in floor looms BLACK/ blue and BLACK/ green (can't remember centre brake colour)

The OPEN on parking lights wire means when you cut the wire the lights will turn on, so you would need to use a relay for this, second ign means the car needs to see 2 ign signals to properly start the car.
Are you sure you wanna tackle this job? Its not that easy on this one.

what makes it hard?  the questions that youve answered or something i havent got to yet? share ya knowledge man.  lol

Also per the diagram that kartunes put. it hasa ign 1 then ign two then has a another wire mentioned. Should i relay a third ignition? also there is no mention of an accessary so cut that wire?

The hard bit is that the purple acc from the ign switch is your 2nd ign, take R/S acc to purple on radio and relay break to allow acc when in R/S mode, also if you use a transponder bypass such as DEI 556U that requires a key ONLY use the grey VALET key and wire it following the instructions for European cars (I know it's made in the US and the transponder is probably Lear not Siemans)
