hi,

does any1 know how to change the code?


e36,coupe,1993.

I've never seen that before...

That is a custom module. You will have to track down the person who designed and or installed it on your car. Another solution is to simply remove the module altogether.

simple remove the module? It could be wired intricately (sp?) into the wiring harness and the ignition wiring. Hopefully it's not though.

Yeah. Don't just pull it off. Again, if possible, try to track down the installer. From what I have seen on the E36 wiring diagrams, though, there really isn't much they could have done. If you don't feel comfortable cutting and soldering wires blindly, take some pictures of the wires that go into the module an tell us where they come from. I do embedded electronic control engineering for a living, so I may be able to help remotely.

the car is bought in Eastern Europe, and right now i`m in Western, so there is no chance i can find the installer of this perfect stuff.

i`ll try to make some pictures of these wires!

how can i find where it goes to? or what do i have to picture exactly? can u gimme the link of that point or place of e36.

We don't know where it goes to :dunno. That is why we need the pictures. Make sure to first document how everything is connected right now, just in case we can't find a solution and you find yourself forced to put everything back to how it is right now.

I aimgine you will at least have to remove the shift boot and perhaps the sunglass holder and the button panel where the aftermarket security module sits. This would all be so that you can see where the wires are going underneath the center console.

It's an engine immobiliser, when i was learning to drive the car i was using had 1 fitted, if that helps but i couldn't tell you where the wires go
