Just curious as to the lock and unlock wires. I read the directechs sheet and it stated that the lock/unlock wires do not change state when testing. So I was curious as to how i test these wires.
BMW 3, 5 and 7 series for 1992 to 1998 have a pre-wired factory security connector that can be useful when addingafter-market accessories such as alarms and keyless entry systems. On the 3 series this connector can be found behindthe glovebox near the center console. On the 5 series it can be found either in the same location as the 3 series, orunder the back seat near the battery. On the 7 series this connector can be found near the brake pedal under the passenger side dash. The layout for this connector is as follows:
PIN FUNCTION WIRE COLOR POLARITY
1. 12 Volts constant RED / gray +
2. Ignition PURPLE / white –
3. Ground Brown -
4. Drivers door trigger BROWN / gray -
5. Passenger door trigger BROWN / blue -
6. Rear door trigger BROWN / purple -
7. Horn trigger BLACK/ blue +
8. NOT USED
9. Lock trigger* WHITE/ red +
10. Unlock trigger* Blue/red +
11. Trunk trigger BROWN / white -
12. NOT USED
* These wires must be tested with all the doors closed or the doorlocks will not respond.

Morden, Manitoba CANADAThanks, i'm heading home for tonight. Will continue in the morning. If i have any problems i'll post them.
Any idea about a 1987 325i Convertable? I am trying to figure out how to connect a keyless entry kit.. Are there any harnesses on that year model that does the same thing?
