If it matters, the car is a 2 door convertable. I have a few different things I need help with...
The door locks are frozen, you can't open the car with the key, so it's just left unlocked all the time. I'm not familiar with BMW's, and don't know if there's anything special about them when removing door panels, any info would be great.
It has a factory alarm. Any way to keep this and use a remote start? Anything unusual about installing a remote start on this car?
I won't be looking at the car until tomorrow, but I figured I'd try to get a heads up before I started. Any info that could save me from anything unexpected would be appreciated.
