CompuStar 1WAM-A '99 BMW M3

I just tried installing a Compustar 1WAM-A in my '99 BMW M3 Convertible.

I am unable to program the remotes by turning the ignition on and off 5 times then depressing the lock button on the remotes.

It seems I was required to wire a diode on the parking light - output, otherwise when you pushed the hazard light switch in the car the lights will continue to flash even thought the button is up.

Here is how I wired my car:

Alarm Module        Factory BMW Alarm Pre-wired Harness

CN1

Siren +                    BLACK/ BlueParking Light +      N/AConstant 12V        RED / Grey / YELLOWGround                    BROWN / Orange

CN3

The remaining CN5, CN6, CN7 and CN8 on the alarm module use the alarm pre-made molexes for LED, shock sensor, antenna, and paging(not used).

IGNITION sensing should be GREEN at the ignition harness. Make sure that this wire sees 12 volt switched otherwise the unit will not program. Also, you MUST toggle the ignition 5 times within 3 seocnds and press the LOCK button within this 3 second window otherwise it will not program. The wire you have the IGNITION  sensing may be right but your timing may be wrong.Jeff
