Keyless Entry and the E34, yes/no?

[ejmpower]

I wanted to get a keyless entry for my e34 but heard that messing with the electronics is not recommended, what are peoples thoughts, experience with keyless entries and which do you recommend?

Have you checked under the driver's side back seat to make certain the module is not there? If it is, you only need the remote fob(s).

What year and model are your car?

Its a 1989 (10/88 Production Date) 535iM. Going to look under driver side back seat.

My 1989 (9/88 Production Date) 525i did not have the connector which would have made installing a keyless really easy. I don't know about the 535iM

[ejmpower]

what does this connector look like, basically if you are looking under the seat how do you know if you have it or not?

All that's needed for keyless is a module and key fob?

How would one go about getting a key fob?

Oh and yes pics of this module... I have a '90 535im with heated seats / sun roof / lsd if it makes a difference.

It will be located under the rear right passenger seat. 89-90 did not have this option....at least not on the 525i.

Well I still dont know what I am looking for, it does look like I have a connector of sorts but unless somebody can tell me what it looks like I have no idea if its the right one. and whats a FOB? and where could I get a bmw keyless entry to complete the system?

My 1989 535im has a viper alarm system, which actually works EXTREMELY well.
