▀▄ eas | remoteKEY+ Convienence Module installation overview
Earlier this summer, we were made aware that 3-series/M3 and 1-series models with a production date of 3/09 and later were not prewired if the "Alarm" option was not specified during the ordering process. This is not new to BMW as e46 models overseas were subject to this in the past - however, most US bound vehicles were prewired.
This unique comfort controller can be installed by anyone with the help of our detailed installation manual. Installation requires little electronic skills and is done without cutting wires or soldering! The module comes with all wires and parts needed. No need for extra key fobs. Everything is done with the original key remote. The control unit was designed by our certified engineer, having years of experience on Porsche and Mercedes Benz vehicle electronics. It was developed according to all European and American (CE, FCC) directives and constitutes a state-of-the-art electronic onboard control unit. Over-voltage protection, reverse polarity protection, safety shut-off and absolutely minimal standby power drain can be taken for granted. Product Features: Individually programmable Configure all functions of the module to meet your personal preferences via our signature blinker setup menu. Factory BMW Alarm Emulation Emulate the factory BMW alarm confirmation door locking/locking chirps and blinking LED as a visual deterrent against thieves or vandalism. remoteKEY is even compatible for 3/09+ models not prewired for the factory BMW alarm! Passive / Invisible mode Turn the whole module off with an easy key sequence. Ideal when letting someone else drive your car. Reversible plug-in installation Remove any time allowing sale or return of a leased vehicle in it's original condition. Remote window control Open and close the windows and the sunroof separately by remote without activating the top. Folding Mirrors On models equipped with motorized mirrors (premium package), fold mirrors in and out by remote. If equipped with Comfort Access -door handles can also activate mirror folding. Automatic door unlocking Automatically unlock the doors when turning the ignition off. No more pulling the door handle twice. USB Port for easy updates This module can be updated using any Windows PC / Laptop with Internet connection. Unique design features only to be found in remoteKEY: - Fully E13 tested and certified: E13 10R-02 4133 - Ultra-low power standby mode (less than 0.1mA) - InstallAID LED shows correct installation and status - Intuitive Setup menu for easy customization Models Supported: 2006+ e9x 3-series, including M3 Installation: While the steps are quite detailed, installation should take no more than 60 minutes for the novice installer. If you are not experienced with your BMWs wiring, please consult professional installation. Important: Remove key from ignition and negative battery cable before proceeding in order to prevent error lights from appearing during installation process. Remove passenger side control box cover to expose DME container Noting positions of locking tabs on lid, remove hook and slider tabs and remove cover Remove relays and connectors from DME grid and set aside. Connectors are keyed to go back in only one direction Slide DME from grid and set aside Remove grid from control box, some cables may still be fastened in place by zip ties Cut zip ties with cutters Remove DME grid Moving into cabin area on passenger side, remove (2) torx screws in order to remove kick panel underneath glovebox. Location of 1st torx screw Location of 2nd torx screw Remove kickpanel Using a thin piece of wire or coathanger, insert wire into opening at bottom of control box to allow easier routing of cable to cabin area Remove fuse access panel in glove compartment Route pieze buzzer harness from glovebox to bottom side of floor panel and prepare for routing to engine area Grab connector (2-pin) from underside of glovebox Using electrical tape, secure wire to the bailing wire routed earlier securely Secured connector From engine side, slowly pull on wire until connector appears on engine side, leaving enough slack in the cabin area to plug the remoteKEY module into Using supplied velcro, apply to piezo buzzer Secure piezo to clear/empty sport under hood. In this shot we used the location just below the negative remote terminal Route cable from control box underneath grommets to piezo buzzer Connect 2-pin connector to piezo buzzer, making note of color matching Optional: Use heatshrink tubing to lock connectors into place. Electrical/Friction tape can be used as an alternative Apply heat to heatshrink tubing Connection tucked away under stock wiring Replace DME grid into control box Replace DME computer and return harness connectors/relays to original positions. Reconnect battery. Access wiring bundle in glovebox. Connections are as follows: Red/Yellow wire - +12V power, Brown - Ground, Twisted pair Green/Orange & Green - CANbus. Pictured is pointing to Ground wire Twisted pair Green/Orange & Green. There will be (3) Twisted pair bundles present, use only a single pair - do not cross between pairs! Using supplied T-Tap, fasten over Ground (Brown) wire Using Pliers, lock T-Tap into place over Ground wire Repeat for Twisted pair Green/Orange & Green wires and Red/Yellow. Red/Yellow wire will require (2) T-Taps, a total of (5) are used in all Using a pick or small screwdriver, remove AIRBAG badge from passenger side A-pillar Remove torx screw Pull door seal from perimeter of A pillar to allow easier removal Remove A pillar cover A pillar cover removed, showing airbax curtain and wiring harness Remove access panel for wiring routing, this pops out of place Route mirror LED harness through access panel Pull LED mirror harness through other side (correct side has bare terminal and spade connector (pictured) Plug spade connector to Red/Yellow wire. Grey/Black wire will insert into pin 5 of remoteKEY harness, to connect with same color on other side of connector (wire not shown in connector) Pull harness through dash opening, preparing to route towards mirror Remove plastic mirror wiring shroud Access mirror connector and remove from disconnect from BMW side 3/09+ Production Date: Insert red wire of LED harness into PIN8 of mirror connector, Grey/Black wire into PIN9. 2006-2/09 Production: Remove wires from PIN8 & PIN9 and insert red wire of LED harness into PIN8 of mirror connector, Grey/Black wire into PIN9.

Blinking LED will signify CAN activity verifying a proper install Secure LED mirror harness with zip ties, taking care not to impede curtain airbag from deployment Return all trim panels to original positions and tuck remoteKEY module/harness away in glovebox. Installation is complete!

Probably should note that the power wires should be rerouted to a constant +12 volt power source to keep the clown nose blinking past 36mins.

Not when the power wire is hooked to permanent power, we just completed a set of alternative instructions that will be posted this week.

correct power source from under dash
so to clarify.....the double tap source from underneath the dash is to the red/yellow wire, or the blue/red wire? a friend used the yellow/red wire for the double tap and his rear view LED flasher did not stay on all night.

Okay, so my friend and I just spent the last 5 hours installing this. Everything works except for the LED on the rear-view mirror. My car is the one without the factory alarm, so do I need to purchase an LED bulb and fit it in or is it basically already idling in there (thereby meaning I did something wrong)?

I am looking to make my alarm louder, i think the oem alarm volume is way too low ! If your car is outside and you're inside your house you may not hear the alarm for the first minute enough time for a tow truck thief to load it on the truck. I notice bmw sucks at everything that is electronic human interface ( radio and buttons ergonomy, idrive interface, car alarm volume..). Also the bmw oem alarm frequency is higher than others it does not propagate far and through walls.
If you're coming from a japanese car they always nail everything electronic. |
