The Remote Entry System incorporated minor changes since the original introduction
which includes:
• The control electronics are incorporated into the GM III.
• The antenna is incorporated into the rear window lower heater grid.
• The remote key receiver is installed in the left “C” pillar. The receiver produces a digital
signal based on the transmitter command and sends it to the GM for processing. The GM
then carries out all remote entry operations either directly or through the door modules
for the front doors. The frequency at which the key transmits the radio signal to the ant-
enna amplifier is 315 MHz.
Vehicle/Key Memory
The Vehicle/Key Memory feature provides the flexibility of allowing the owner to customize
certain functions of select vehicle systems and automatically identifies users of the vehicle
by a key identification signal provided by the remote keyless entry system (FZV).
Vehicle & Key memory is marketed as a combined feature but is actually two separate func-
tions of the select vehicle control systems.

Vehicle Memory: The owner is provided with a list of available system functions that can
be customized to their liking. Prior to delivery, the DISplus or MoDiC is used to encode the
owner’s chosen selections into the appropriate control modules.
These choices become a permanent function of the control module and can only be
changed by re-encoding with the DISplus or MoDiC at a BMW Center.
This feature has been available for some time via the ZCS Conversion Feature but has
never been fully utilized or officially presented to the vehicle owner as a feature of their vehi-
cle.
Key Memory: This feature provides the added convenience of identifying users of the vehi-
cle whenever a lock or unlocked signal is generated via the individual FZV keys. A maxi-
mum of four FZV keys can be used with the Key Memory feature.
Each of the four keys generate a unique key identification signal (key number) that is trans-
mitted simultaneously with the lock/unlock signals to the General Module. Key Memory
does not respond to Lock/Unlock requests from the drivers door lock.
Mostof the key memory functions require the vehicle be configured using the “KEY MEM-
ORY” function of the DIS or MoDiC. However, there are a few features that store settings
automatically without configuration such as IHKA blower speed and temp setting. The key
ID signal alerts the GM to communicate with select control systems over the K Bus to store
(when locked) or reset (when unlocked) certain driver adjustable settings.
There are features that function as both a Car & Key Memory feature.
Example; the Automatic Seat Adjustment feature is encoded as a Car Memory Function
with the following possibilities:
• When unlocking,
• When opening a door after unlocking
• Or not active at all.
If active, the seat positions are stored and reactivated by the Key Memory function for indi-
vidual users of the car.

Workshop Hints
Remote Key Initialization: The initialization of the FZV keys is required to establish the
Lock/Unlock signal synchronization with the GM. The initialization procedure provides the
GM with a key identification number and a “rolling code” for each key. If the initialization is
not performed, the GM will not respond to the key signals.
Up to 4 remote keys can be initialized. They must be initialized at the same time. Key ini-
tialization is only possible with the vehicle unlocked.
Procedure:
1. Close all doors and have all keys available.
2. Using key number 1, turn the ignition switch to KL
R, then switch off within 5 seconds and remove the
first key.
3. Within 30 seconds of turning the ignition switch to
“off” Press and holdbutton #2.
4. While holding button #2, press and release(“tap”)
button #1 three timeswithin 10 seconds.
5. Release both buttons. The LED in the key will flash
momentarily (except 2000 MY). The GM will imme-
diately lock and unlock the doors signaling a suc-
cessful initialization.
6. If additional keys need to be initialized repeat steps
3 - 5 within 30 seconds.
7. Switching the ignition to KL R completes the initiali-
zation.
NOTE: The key memory function of the GM responds
to the key identification number of each key. If the keys
are not initialized in the same order prior to initialization,
the key memory functions activated by the keys will not
be assigned correctly. Always initialize the keys in
the same order.

Anti-Theft (DWA) System
Purpose of the System
The DWA alarm system offers vehicle protection by monitoring the doors, hood, interior,
luggage compartment and vehicle tilting. When activated, DWA deters theft by sounding
an alarm siren for 30 seconds, flashing the low beam headlights (high beam on Xenon
equipped models) and four way flashers for 5 minutes.
The control electronics for DWA are integrated in the general module. The DWA - LED
indicator is located in the rear view mirror (E38 in the top center IHKA grille).
The system is “armed/disarmed” from the driver’s door lock cylinder, remote transmitter or
luggage compartment lock cylinder. The alarm is immediately deactivated when disarmed
with the key in the driver’s door lock cylinder (may be deactivated in Conversion) or remote
transmitter.
The GM utilizes existing components and/or circuits as part of the DWA system:
• Door latch switch/sensor contacts (door open/closed).
• Trunk lid switch contact (monitored for closed trunk).
• Trunk lock key position switch (located on the trunk lock, this switch signal prevents
DWA from activating if armed when the trunk is opened with the key).
• Hood switch (monitored for closed hood, located under the hood).
• DWA status LED (part of rear view mirror).
The additional components required are:
• Interior Sensor • DWA Siren • Tilt sensor
33

• Signal "NG"; switched ground output signal provided to the GM. The signal is used for
two purposes,
1. As a momentary acknowledgment that the tilt sensor received STDWA and is cur-
rently monitoring the vehicle angle.
2. If the tilt sensor detects a change in the vehicle's angle when DWA is armed, signal
NG is switched to inform the GM to activate the siren.
When the tilt sensor receives the STDWA signal from the GM it memorizes the vehicle's
parked angle. The angle of the vehicle is monitored by the solid state electronics. Once
armed, if the angle changes, the tilt sensor provides a switched ground signal to the GM
to activate DWA.
As with the interior sensor, the tilt sensor is also switched OFF when the vehicle is locked
two times within ten seconds. The LED will flash one time for confirmation. This allows the
sensor to be switched OFF for transportation purposes.
Glass Breakage Sensors (Early E38 - before FIS Sensor): The door windows (includ-
ing the rear quarter glass wire loop) are monitored by inductive sensors mounted on the
inside of the door behind the trim panel. A closed window is recognized by a magnetic plate
on the glass lining up with the sensor.
If the glass is broken, the plate falls away and the signal from the sensor changes and the
GM will activate the alarm.
Alarm Siren: The alarm siren is mounted in the rear wheel well, behind the inner wheel
housing cover (early E38 used an alarm horn). The E53 alarm siren is located in the left side
of the engine compartment.
The siren contains electronic circuitry for producing the warn-
ing tone when the alarm is triggered. The siren also contains a
rechargeable battery that is used to power the siren when the
alarm is triggered.
The rechargeable battery will allow the siren to sound if it or the
vehicle’s battery is disconnected. The siren battery is
recharged, from the vehicle’s battery, when the alarm is not in
the armed state.

Principle of Operation
DWA Arming/Disarming
• The DWA is armed every time the vehicle is locked from the outside with the door lock
cylinder or FZV key.
• The DWA LED flashes as an acknowledgment along with the exterior lights and a
momentary chirp from the siren.
• The GM monitors all required input signals for closed status (door closed, luggage com-
partment closed, etc.) The inputs must be in a closed status for a minimum of 3 sec-
onds for the GM to include them as an activation component. If after 3 seconds any
input signal not in the closed status is excluded (this is acknowledged by the DWA LED)
preventing false alarm activations. The hood switch can be “lifted” to the service posi-
tion to test the alarm with the hood open.
• If the DWA is armed a second time within 10 seconds, the tilt sensor and interior pro-
tection sensor are excluded as alarm activation components. This function is useful if
the vehicle is transported on a train or flat bed truck to prevent false alarm activations.
• While armed, the trunk can be opened with out the alarm being triggered as follows:
- If opened with the trunk remote button via the FZV, the GM prevents the alarm from
activating. (This feature is customizable under the Car Memory function).
- If opened with the key at the trunk lock cylinder the trunk key position switch sig-
nals the GM and in the same manner prevents the alarm from activating.
In either case, when the trunk is returned to the closed position, it is no longer con-
sidered as an activation signal.
Panic Mode Operation: When the trunk button is pressed and held, the GM is signaled
to activate the siren for the Panic Mode. The panic mode is function with either an armed
or disarmed DWA system.
Emergency Disarming: Emergency disarming occurs automatically if a key is used to turn
the ignition switch on and the EWS accepts it. The EWS signals the GM to unlock the doors
and deactivate the DWA.

Power Windows/Sunroof
Purpose of the System
The features of the power windows and sunroof system include:
• One-touch operation in both directions (up/
down) on all four windows.
• The cable design window regulator is used
for all windows.
• Anti-trap detection is through the use of the
pressure sensitive finger guard.
• The control of the front window motors is
carried out in the respective door modules.
• The control of the rear windows is carried
out in the GM III.
• The switch block/module on the driver’s
door panel controls all four windows and the
rear window lock out feature.
System Components
- with the Principle of Operation
The signals from the switch block pass through
the driver’s door via the P-Bus and on to the
GM III and passengers door module.
Each window switch has four positions.
Two for the standard mode of operation:
• Push to first detent and hold to raise/lower
the window (1).
Two for the one-touch mode:
• Push to second detent and quickly release
(quick strike) to automatically raise/lower
the window (2).

Switch

All window operations signals are digital inputs to the door module and GM III.
• Comfort closing/opening of the windows from the driver’s lock cylinder. The remote key
provides opening only.
• When the ignition key is in accessory or “on” position press the switch to open or close
the windows. Window operation is possible with the ignition switched off until a front
door is opened or 16 minutes (maximum) has elapsed.
• Window load switching is through relays. The front window control relays are located in
the door modules, the rear window relays are in the GM III. The GM III monitors the cur-
rent draw for end limit position. The maximum run time for the window motors is limit-
ed to 6 seconds in the one-touch mode. This allows the motors to be switched off if the
end limit load sensing fails.
E53 Style Window Switches:The E53 power window switch design is a push - pull type
switch. Each switch provides the GM with the coded ground signaling strategy as previous
two wire switches.
Pushing a switch to the first detent and holding
provides
a single ground signal on one wire
requesting the GM to operate the window
motor in the down direction.
When released, the ground signal is removed
and the window motor stops.
Momentarily pushing the switch to the second
detent and releasing provides
an additional
ground signal on the second wire requesting
the “one touch mode”, operating the window
motor automatically.
The motor runs the window down until it reach-
es the end stop.
The switch functions in the same manner for
the upward run of the window motor but the
ground signal sequencing is reversed.

Rear Window Child Lockout Switch: The rear window child lockout switch is incorpo-
rated in the driver's side window switch block. It provides a constant ground signal to the
GM preventing the windows from being operated from the rear door switches.
The lockout switch ground signal is overridden by the GM if the MRS crash signal is acti-
vated (MRS III equipped vehicles).
Window Anti-Trap Detection: Each pressure guard at the top edge of each door frame
consists of two contact strips that close when subjected to pressure. This provides anti-
trap for the full travel of the window.
When the contact strips close, the window will reverse direction. The contact strip does not
require that the anti-trap feature be initialized prior to operation.
The finger guard has a resistance of 1.2 KOhm and it is monitored for open circuits. Faults
with the anti-trap system require that the window switch be held to close the window.
The example shown represents the driver’s door window control and monitoring carried out
by the Driver’s Door Switchblock Module (PM- FT/ SB).
The passenger door window is controlled and monitored by the Passenger door module
(PM-BT) and the rear door windows are both controlled and monitored by the General
Module.
