4. Installation
4.1. Important Pre-Installation Notes
- This item is only compatible with DC12V BMW F & G chassis and MINI cars that have a factory OEM push start button and DO NOT have a comfort access function. It is not compatible with standard key start cars or E chassis cars.
- If your car has comfort access, please choose the ESW312 or ESW312-PP series.
- Soldering to your car's factory key PCB is required. Ensure you have the necessary soldering skills or seek professional assistance.
- Installation should be performed by a trained alarm installer or locksmith if you lack experience.
- A new programming procedure is required after completing all wiring connections.
- Before purchasing, confirm your car model and year, and whether it has a factory push start button.
4.2. Wiring Diagram and Connections
The system requires connecting several wires and soldering to the car's factory key PCB. Refer to the diagrams below for detailed instructions.
4.3. Antenna Installation Positions
Proper placement of the antennas is crucial for optimal performance of the PKE system.
After soldering and fixing the car key with double-sided tape, ensure the car key antenna side faces upwards as shown:
4.4. Control Module Placement
The control module should be placed securely under the ignition cylinder or the driver's seat.
4.5. Remote Control Programming
After all wiring connections are complete, you must program the remote controls:
- Keep pressing and holding the white programming switch on the control module. Do not release it.
- While holding the switch, quickly press the "Lock" button once on the remote you wish to program. The indicator light on the remote will flash, confirming successful programming.
- If programming fails, check if the remote control has batteries or try unplugging and re-plugging the power connector to the control module, then repeat the process.
- After programming, if the PKE antenna is plugged in and the remote control is nearby, the indicator light on the module will remain on. The vehicle can then be started. If the key is moved more than 5 meters away, the light will turn off, and the vehicle cannot be started.
5. Operation
5.1. Passive Keyless Entry (PKE)
- Automatic Unlock: The car will automatically unlock when you approach it with the key fob within 1-2 meters.
- Automatic Lock: The car will automatically lock when you walk away from it, approximately 2-3 meters away.
5.2. Remote Control Functions
The key fobs provide the following remote control capabilities:
- Unlock: Press the unlock button.
- Lock: Press the lock button.
- Trunk Release: Press the trunk release button.
- PKE Enable: Hold the Lock and Unlock buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds, then press the Unlock button once to confirm.
- PKE Disable: Hold the Lock and Trunk Release buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds, then press the Unlock button once to confirm.
- Key Detection/Manual Lock/Unlock: Hold the Unlock and Trunk Release buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds, then press the Unlock button once to confirm.
The remote control has a working range of approximately 20-30 meters.
5.3. Valet Mode
The system supports a Valet mode, which can be set for manual lock/unlock operations, temporarily disabling PKE functions when the vehicle is being serviced or parked by a valet.
5.4. High Security Feature
For enhanced security, the vehicle cannot be started if the key fob is not detected inside the car.
6. Maintenance
6.1. Battery Replacement
The key fobs use a CR2032 battery. If the remote control's range decreases or it becomes unresponsive, replace the battery. CR2032 batteries can be purchased from local electronics stores.
7. Troubleshooting
- Programming Failure: If the remote control programming is unsuccessful, ensure the remote has a fresh CR2032 battery. Also, try unplugging and re-plugging the main power connector to the control module before attempting programming again.
- Vehicle Not Starting: If the vehicle does not start, verify that the key fob is inside the car and within detection range (within 5 meters of the control module). The system is designed to prevent starting if the key is too far away.
- General Issues: For any complex issues or if you are unsure about troubleshooting steps, it is highly recommended to consult a professional alarm installer or locksmith.
8. User Tips
- Compatibility Check: Always double-check that your car is a BMW F or G chassis or MINI with an OEM push start button and without comfort access function before attempting installation.
- Professional Installation: Due to the required soldering and complex wiring, professional installation by a qualified alarm installer or locksmith is strongly advised to ensure correct functionality and avoid damage.
- Post-Installation Testing: After installation and programming, thoroughly test all remote control functions and the PKE auto lock/unlock feature to confirm proper operation.
- Battery Maintenance: Keep spare CR2032 batteries on hand for your key fobs to ensure uninterrupted performance of the PKE and remote functions.
