I have a 1995 uk spec. e34 525i sport with, as far as i can tell, a system t2 factory alarm fitted, although the alarm fobs are long gone.
Some recent frost killed the battery in my car, and since fitting a new battery the alarm is armed and i cant de-activate it.
I have tried the procedure listed in my owners manual;
"If the system cannot be de-activated by the normal routine, follow this
emergency procedure:
-Open the door with the key; the alarm will sound for 30s.
-Enter the car, close the door and turn the ignition key to position 1. The alarm will sound again for 30s.
-Wait for app. 15 minutes (LED goes out after about five minutes; then wait a further 10 minutes). Do not open
the door during this period, nor turn the ignition key away from position 1.
The system is now inactivated; have it checked by a BMW service station."
And it doesn't work, the LED doesn't light at all (flashes when the car is locked) and the alarm stays sounding once im in the car. I have tried this with the two keys that came with the car.
I have searched for the alarm module but cant seem to find it, its NOT under the back seat!
The car will start and drive but the alarm stays sounding.
Any help appriciated fellas!
