I've tried to contact him regarding the location of the "alarm port" on a '95 ti, but no response. Where would / should it be?

Thanks.

I just bought that system with the comfort lock features for my 1998 Ti.
The system works well, and it is well made. I'm still trying to custom adjust the blinking light feature.

I got the same system from him. Very nice system, be sure to adjust your sensitivity before completing the installation. This unit is plugin to the alarm port under the glove box in my 98 ti. Fairly easy installation.

My lights flash for 30 seconds when locking and unlocking. According to the manual, you press the valet button to adjust the amount of time it blinks. I can't get the valet button to flash as described in the instructions, although the valet button does work when setting the valet feature.

DGW, it should be behind the glovebox; i believe it's a green connector.

Thanks, I'll take it out and see what's there.

30 seconds! That's a lot of flashing! My module seemed to be normal when I installed it. The only adjustment that I made was the sensitivity.

It turns out I bought a keyless entry system, when I already had one with an alarm. The BMWalarm.com system costs $299.00 for the complete alarm/keyless entry system. I re-ordered the complete alarm/keyless entry unit, still waiting for it to arrive

OK, installed the new BMWalarm.com alarm/comfort locking/keyless entry system. All works fine, and the glass break sensor chirps when I rev my motorcycle :biggrin:

This one only requires that you hold the trunk button for two seconds then let go, then all open windows and the sunroof close. No need to hold the button the entire time. That seems to be different than the method used when you lock you door and hold the key.
