This car uses same wire for lock and unlock.

How to make connection to alarm?

This is really too obvious but set your units lock and unlock to NEG (-) pulse and join them together.
Alternatively, probe around in the driver's door around the window switch (if it's in the door) or lock wiring, there should be a pair of NEG going wires for lock and unlock, extending the lock time for comfort close.

Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first. I am not a free install service.
Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.

Then how does the car know it is lock or unlock?
If I press lock, it might unlock, press unlock it might lock.

Not my problem, it's known as 1 wire sequential locking.
As I said that's how they've listed most BMWs since 99 but I found those extra wires in the DKP on 3 Series and at the door switch on 5 Series (which is essentially a 6 series).
Renaults use a similar system, just don't use the factory remote OR find those two wires.
