its the dealer fitted alarm enable/disable switch. I remove them at compliance after having SEVERAL F'UP and strand the car.
with it enabled it drops a CAN line to the ECU and the car does not go. great idea absolutely crap fitting. they are all put in with scotch locks and most are loose.
if you have the ability remove it. you should also have the ultrasonics on the dash and a battery backed siren behind the glove box.
as a bonus most of them controlled the mirrors on reverse. (they dip down.)
ok - if you were QLD based I was going to tell you to come see me.
I would find a autoelec used to working on BMW/benz as those cars sort of follow your rules.
the idea on what I have said is to switch current off the battery supply rather than the acutal lights. you use the lights to trip the relays.
I get a lot of turned heads when I'm driving a V35 around. I get kids racing me when I drive 33's old guys waving me when I'm dring a 34.
mostly drive 35s around now.
I dont know of any up here (apart from bruce gearing) that are doing them due to cost.
2nd the dollar drop- I'm feeling it with the bits that I bring in from tokyo.
that looks about right to me the neons alone take 2-3 hours at best.
the audio side of it is fairly involved. the front/rear speakers will need work to make them fit.
amps - depends on how they are done for me I would mount them on a panel
time wise its a full day job at a minimum.
will do. I'm dropping a car back there in the morn so I'll look at it then. PM me the Chassis # of it pls.
the radio can be done at teh same time.
do you have a dash shot of this car?
ok thats another stagea that I have to do there... (I do carmens electrical compliance work )
top fellow. check out the two legnums whilst you are there. I've had my hands in both of those and they have naviagtion on them
tom,
I'll dig back through my notes. there's one that has the backdoor codes listed for several of the modules.
I found one that does rekeying via K line and serial as well. use NATS 5 as the key for google. it involves a bit of circuity to make it work.
there's a few of these things flaoting around. the russians have several versions as well. most of them have a promise of sorts. all cost $$.
Free is good in my books. there are a few back doors into these BCMs . google will locate these.
