    E36 Remote Key

    Does anyone know the best way and best thing to get to get a remote key for an e36?

    I am most definitely wrecking the barrell on the door locking and unlocking all the time. That and it is so damn tedious when on the e46 it was soooo handy.
    All the google results have been a bit pants. I want to do something tidy. All the aftermarket keys look shite

    Really? So they setup the sensor in the car and provide a remote key?

    Oh I thought you were just looking for a replacement key. Not sure if your car doesn't already have remote locking

    Are you just looking for central locking to be fitted so you dont have to use the key? or are you after OEM set up?

    Any alarm business can add in central locking motors to work with an alarm.

    My cousin fits alarms if you want to talk to him

    Okay, let me justify. If I put my key in the passenger or driver door and turn to unlock, all doors unlock. Does this mean that this car just needs a remote key to be programmed?
    (Sorry if this sounds dumb)
