This is what it's supposed to look like
What we need behind the glovebox is:
- The 12 pin connector to the BMW harness
- A place for the logic sensor
- A place for the UNGO
- Places to run all the wires and cables
**The Idea Is To Find Places For Everything And Make Sure
The Wires Reach Before You Actually Plug Them In** |
With the glovebox removed, locate the BMW alarm
connector (12 wire) taped to the firewall. Untape it. The Hood/radio connector
will be attached(single black connector).
Purple wire, yellow spots.
Plug all harnesses into the CPU. If the CPU fits
into the small plastic box behind the glovebox, secure it in the box with
velcro or doublesided tape. If it does not fit, put it in the top shelf.
Wedge it under the insulation. Tape the shock sensor on the right hand
side of the top shelf oriented along the car front/back axis. Tape the
extended range antenna as high as possible to the top of the dash between
the console and the glovebox. Reach up and feel for an empty spot to tape
the antenna. |

These guys make it look easy to find your 12 pin connector. Emmy's was
pushed far back and tightly bound with tape. |
Plug in the main harness to the BMW connector. You
may get a chirp. Plug in the extra pin into the Hood/radio connector.

The Logic Sensor |
Dave T points to where he placed his logic
sensor, on the lower shelf |
William tiewrapped it to a piece of the frame even though he had a lower
shelf that would hold it. A true Z3er conserves space! |
Emmy's is wedged into a nook in the metal along with a tiewrapped cord
and stickytaped to the metal.
Best results come from orienting the Logic Sensor front to back along
the line of the car. Doesn't seem to matter if it's tails out or tails
in. |

I guess those RCA jacks have something to do with my aftermarket stereo
