I work second shift at Boeing, working from 12:30pm-1am, so I haven't gotten fully into the install yet. Yesterday I flashed both modules, today I pulled the kick panel, a few harnesses and then ran outta time while trying to be OCD about the routing.
I watched their install video on a 3 series, but I'm going to go a step further by removing one heater duct so I can neatly route the wiring and get easier access to the brake switch. I figure if I had a good 3hrs straight time, this could be done. Since the 3 series is slightly different, I'm going to document my install with some pics and create a new how-to thread (I'll link it here) that's more E7* specific. |

Check flashlogic, idatalink and Fortin. They all make remote starters for BMW.

Hmm, looks like the cost is around $900. I'd like to hope that the RS involves a module and some coding vs splicing of wires! :-(

Installed the iDatalink ADS-BM1 in my '08 X5 4.8 this past weekend.
Very easy to do, just follow the directions and no problems... only about 2 hours total including tying up the cables and cleaning up. Everything you need (except for a few zip ties and the programming cable) is in the box. Here are links to the E70 pages on iDatalink: http://www.idatalink.com/search/sear...hicle_id=15669 http://www.idatalink.com/product/pro...hicle_id/15669 There are also 2 install videos in the support section that show you the simple disassembly and install process. The complete kit can be found for <$500 on eBay and Amazon, which includes the Remote Start, 2 long distance (2500+ feet) remotes (a 2 way and a 1 way) and it also works with your BMW keyfob (3 presses of the Lock button) as well. *** You can add Smart Phone Control as well as other 3rd party remotes *** You will need the ADS-USB programming cable so you can program the system to your vehicle and also capture the BMW keyfob info. Also, IE for your browser, it will NOT work with Firefox, didn't try any others, but I believe IE is the only browser supported. Here is the programming cable you will need: http://www.idatalink.com/accessories.../product_id/45 Look on eBay, should be around $25... Simply disconnect 3 connections (2-CAS, brake switch) under the steering column, insert the 2 wiring harnesses, do the VERY SIMPLE web based config/programming, and you're done. No coding, no cut wires, no major disassembling of your X (kick panel & vent), and you can remove it at any time! Here is a great DIY for a 1 series, but the process is exactly the same for E70:ADS-BM1 Install DIY Great product demo video in a 3 series: I'm not affiliated with any of the companies, just wanted to share an awesome product/upgrade for your X! VERY Highly recommend this! John

Some additional information:
The system creates a copy of one of your BMW Keyfobs, stores it in the RS internal memory, and it uses this to access the security and start features as if you had placed a BMW keyfob in the slot. Your X will see the RS as Key#3 (assuming you have 2 keys) so you don't need a key to drive away. Just unlock the doors with the remote button and you can drive away with no BMW keyfob needed. So, it kinda provides CA Start for those who don't have it, as far as the engine start process is concerned. (You will need to insert your BMW keyfob in the slot periodically to charge it, if you don't have CA.) You will have to set your seat, mirrors, audio, climate, etc once you use the RS, as they will be stored with key #3. Your settings for #1 and #2 won't change at all. It doesn't mess with CA at all, still functions as normal after the engine is running but not during the start process itself (only a few seconds). You will of course have to have a BMW keyfob with you to use it as normal for the doors/locks... In this case it will use the settings for the #1/#2 keyfob as usual.

I wonder if you have to actually surrender a key into that key box which then it uses to start the vehicle
