Hello everyone,

Are there anyone who may give me a direction what to do. I ve seen some 3rd party hardware solution but i want to have original bmw equipments. If someone help me i will be really appreciated.
Thanks

You'll have to buy a key fob, door handles, antennas (several), and I think there is also a module that goes in the trunk. You'll have to have all this programmed. The door handles are actually the biggest problem as they're painted. So you either have to get used handles or paint new ones. Used is totally fine but it may be hard to find your color. I don't think I'm missing anything major. And it's not THAT hard of a project but will take a bit of time to piece together and then install.

Thank you for your response.
What about the cabling? Are there any already placed cable connectors at antenna locations for antennas or it must be wired too.
