HI KURT,
        REGARDS YOU'RE CENTRAL LOCKING PROBLEM, I IN THE PAST FITTED THESE ALARM SYSTEMS TO E36 MODELS. I CAN'T REMEMBER WIRING /COLOURS OF THE TOP OF MY HEAD BUT ITS NOT DIFFICULT TO TRACE WIRES.YOU ARE LOOKING IN THE DRIVERS FOOTWELL AREA BEHIND PANEL THERE ARE WIRING LOOMS ON BMW. THE WIRES YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ARE USUALLY THIN WIRES.YOU HAVE A POSITIVE PLUSE TO OPEN CAR AND AND A NEGATIVE PLUSE TO CLOSE AND LOCK CAR.TO BE SAFE USE A FUSED 10AMP LINK FUSE PROD WIRE WITH A LIVE FEED VIA FUSE WHEN YOU FEED THE RITE WIRE THE CAR WILL OPEN REMEMBER TO LOCK CAR OR PUSH BUTTONS DOWN.TO GET CLOSE FEATURE GIVE IT A EARTH BY PRODING INTO WIRES.THATS HOW ITS DONE WITHOUT KNOWING WIRING ..ON CAR GOOD LUCK...
