2005 bmw x5 remote start

Hey everyone just wondering if anyone has the wire diagram and recommended bypass for a 2005 BMW X5.  Thanks

Sorry I mean a 2006

Fortin and DEI market some special units for this vehicle assuming a push-button system on the car.

For the 2006 DEI shows the 556u or the tbxkey. I don't see a listing for the fortin or idatalink. Looks like the push button must have started in 2007.

Also there should be 2 constants at the ignition, RED / blue and possibly RED / green or RED / black, split your 12volt constant inputs between them.

Thanks mpe & howie

I just finished a remote starter on an 04.

For the bypass I used a BMW factory ring and a relay and valet key. Works everytime! 100%

Install was pretty simple, plenty of room to get at the ign wires.
My only problem was that the doors are unable to LOCK while the car is running. Only unlock works. Running wiring into the doors are probably the hardest part.

I initially had the starter set to unlock before remote starting and lock after its started. This was to disarm the factory alarm, then rearm it again. But I soon realized that the lock doesn't work.

I recently worked on an 99 740li, which acted the same way.

Surely when you activate the remote start the car would normally ALREADY be locked!

Incidentally, surely a 556U is cheaper than the factory ring.

Of course Howie, but I was trying to disarm the alarm, start the car, then rearm. To avoid the brief siren sound, when remote starting without disarming. But looks like I'll have to live without. I just thought another locking solution was available.

Factory ring was only 13 dollars. They used to be much more around 30.00 But now they are pretty comparable to the 556uw.

We did a RS on an X5 and what we did was use the factory rearm wire to pulse the yellow/red wire at the middle door lock switch. The compustar unit would just send the pulse after start because I programmed it that way. We turned on the unlock before start and re lock but since the relock doesn't do anything when the car is on it wouldn't do anything. But since we connected the factory rearm wire to the middle door switch it worked perfectly.

Interesting point Eric but I always went into the door for the separate lock/unlock wires, that would also give me comfort close and in conjunction with a 555U and valet key I never had any issues with the factory alarm. I suppose whatever works!
