Keyless Entry Install

In a nutshell, my Stellar/AutoLoc BMW45P system was a no go. I attempted to have it installed at a Tweeter location (other work being done) where I've had other systems installed, and we never got anything to work.

- followed directions to the letter
- double checked all fuses
- double checked FAQ at their site
- of course, Tech Support was not available today (Sat)

The installer seemed to think we had a bad brain. I am returning the Stellar unit.

I in turn had them install a "Valet" unit, made by DEI, which also makes Viper and a couple other brands. All the same bells and whistles, and wouldn't you know, still the same price.  The only caveat about the Vallet was it needed to be spliced in to the facrtory harness, but, at this point, it wasn;t a big deal to me since this was now a professional install.
 

Notes on DEI Valet:

Here are some pics:

Finding a switched source for the Valeintine1.  We didn't use the roof switch, rather, just tapped into the factory harness when doing the keyless entry portion.
