    Is it a jap import? Try pointing the key at the red thing (sensor) attached to the bottom of the rear view mirror when you push the button, afaik jap imports use an inferior infra-red system.

    Have the same problem with my old man's e46

    Edit: That's just for the remote locking problem, I don't think he has any problems with opening all the doors with the key, so can't help there sorry

    Tried that, no joy. Also it's NZ new.

    Thanks

    Often the remote unlock button wont work so I have to put the key in the door to unlock the car, although sometimes when i do this only the drivers door opens and the others remain locked? Sometimes it take 15mins and multiple goes until finally the other doors will unlock.

    Its a 1999 E46

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks

    Hey Scott

    There's a fairly wide rainge of answers to that question but I'll give it a go - Let me know if I don't get it right.

    You say it's cleaned and polished several times a year I'm assuming that you do it by hand and you're not actually needing to do any significant correction.

    I tend to recommend Meguiars because I use them a lot and they're great quality products that does what it says it will and they have a few products that represent great value.

    Meguiars Cleaner wax is one of their oldest waxes and it's great for good looking durable protection. It won't give you a lot of correction but it will give you a great lasting shine. I use it a lot on vehicles (like my wifes Territory) that don't get a lot of pampering but that you want to hold condition.

    If you're after a Wax that you can Layer up a bit the Meguiars Deep Crystal Carnauba wax is a gerat value product. Very similar to the Gold Class Wax but less cost. You do sacrifice a bit of shine

    If you need to achieve any correction then Meguiars Ultimate Compound is a great product. It has a lot of the attributes of the Professional formulas in an easy to use version. It will get great results with little risk.

    All those products are easy to use by hand but can also be used with an orbital polisher such as the Mothers Wax Attack for even better results. They're definitely not the expensive versions but products are so good now that you'll get great looking protection without the need of boutique products.

    Having said that though, Meguiars Ultimate Wax (which is still difficult to get hold of here) is flippin' awesome but I think it's about $80 or something but you really want to be using it on mint paintwork or it's a bit pointless.

    Hope that's helpful?

    Cheers thanks!

    Sorry, I should have been a bit more clear. Washed weekly and polished several times per year.

    Ok cool I think I might go for Meguiars Cleaner Wax to obtain a deep shine. Would this be better than the Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0? I have heard this is very good.

    Thanks for the advice.

    Hi all,

    I have a inline RCA converter from the head deck and an amp and sub in the boot.

    I have used a tape deck AUX in the past but the connection broke, i replaced it with the same model one but the sound is all muffled. I have also have a Belkin ITRIP but is unreliable and sound hazey.

    What is the best way to connect an ipod to my factory head deck?

    All help would be appreciated

    Thanks

    if you arent going to get a new front bumper, my next mod would be to chance the numberplate holder or get a european/long plate so it fits nicely rather than have black bits on the side!

    and if you havent already, debadge the 318i on the back :)

    and definitely hurry on the clear indicators, troll trademe for secondhand ones, or hellbm otherwise... diy smoke them for the time being haha wont cost alot

    Yeah was thinking of the plates, they have fake ones on bimmersport ive been told? Have allready debaged the 318i!
