Hi there!!
Just wondering if anyone's got any ideas on this problem.
I'm a new member, but i've had my 1994 850CSi for nearly a year now.
I had a clifford alarm system fitted a while ago with remote start and remote headlamp activation and they can't get it to work properly.
The problems I have are as follows:
When unlocking the car with the clifford remote, the bmw alarm is activated and has to be disabled on the normal key/remote.
When switching of the ignition after driving, the doors unlock and that sets the Standard BMW alarm, which has to be disabled by the normal key/remote, before you get out of the car.
The remote start works fine, (most of the time), but always gives a 'seat back lock failure' or similar on the computer and occasionally causes it to show 'rear brake light circuit failure'. Both of which clear if you turn the car off and re start it.
Also, they say they cannot find a way of getting into the lighting cct to make the headlights remote. Apparently the motors require the ignition to be on, which sets of the alarm. They can't find a way around it.
These problems are dragging on a bit now and although the alarm works and the car is safe, it's very annoying and not what i paid for!!
Sorry for boring you all, but hopefully someone will have some ideas on this!!!!
Cheers,
Rob
