In this case, probably the trunk will not issue the lock command to the GM. Experience has show to this forum members that the problem mostly is in the hinge harness.

    I used to have this same "problem" espen...I figured (atleast) on mine, when you lock the car and the locks pop back up, its telling you that somethings still not locked. That something is the trunk, if the slot is vertical, it is unlocked and you will have to turn the key twice if you wanted to lock only the four doors.

    So you only have to "lock once" by the drivers door, insert the key into the trunk slot, turn right 90 degrees and remove the key while its still in the horizontal position. Here it will lock all doors, but go to the drivers door or passenger, unlock the car, then lock it again...hopefully you will happily see that the car will lock once and not pop back up again.

    You just have to keep in mind whether or not the trunk is unlocked. This irritated the living hell outta me for the first two weeks I bought my E34.

    Hope this helps!

    Hey.. Thanks, ill try that!

    I removed the back seat now, and found out that i allready have a keyless system.. It was not connected though. a big black bmw marked box with an antenna on. It was markeg "GEMEL ITALY" The product number on it was 82929402527, I googled it and RealOEM.COM says it is an "Control Unit Alarm System" It is obviously not working, its full av scratches and screwdrivermarks. And I dont have the remotes for it.

    Here is the 1 millon$ question, who can find the drawing for the wiring to this box, i think i can connect my aftermarket keyless system to the alarm units wires.. At least some of them..?

    I`ll make a new thread on this subject.. This is off topic.. and the question in this topic have allready bin answered.

    The new thread is HERE
