I am currently installing a 2way pager alarm with remote start. With the remote start, the engine keeps running until you get out and lock the car (to make sure its in neutral). However as soon as the engine shuts off, the domelight turns on, causing the alarm to think the door is open and therefore disableing the remote start.

So i cannot use the domelights. I need to use actual door triggers

I am desperatly trying to find both door open signals, which are not linked to the domelight - they must be somewhere as the instrument cluster shows when a door is open.
would the signal be possitive or negative?
any help would be greatly appreciated

DEI lists door trigger as a single positive wire. You can find the information here.

That is the domelight wire that he is already using.
I have never seen a listing for the true door trigger wires on a recent BMW. It may be a data signal, which you won't be able to tap into. You may have to use a timer that interupts the door trigger input for a period of time after the ignition shuts off. Had to do that a few years ago on alarm/remote start units when Ford and GM started having there vehicles turn the domelight on when the domelight shuts off. Now most alarms have the timer built in. With a manual transmission remote start, the issue is harder to work around while still maintaining the safety features of a manual remote start.
I'm surprised you didn't get any help at the BMW forum. Usually there will be some people at vehicle-specific forums that know those kind of things.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
