I'm not much of an electronics guy. Anyone know how difficult/time consuming it'd be to wire up power locks, with an alarm, power windows, and switches, with the ECU from the 318i. Does the process even involve the ECU? Like I said, I'm electronically challenged. I can build a computer, but that's just plugging things into eachother, not running wires and all that.

It's gonna be fun for me, I just don't know if I'm going to end up driving around with my interior half removed, and just abandoning the project simply because it's TOO far out of my skill range - i.e. things I can't learn or don't have the tools for.

This car isn't going to be a racer now or ever, but a daily driver, so I'm just toying with the idea of doing all power windows, including vents, power locks - maybe even door actuators, push button start, and all that fancy 6 series stuff. I know some of you are cringing now, but I don't have the tools to tinker with a racer, and the car's in great shape as it is. So I want to tinker with the electronics.

Anyway, your input is appreciated. Thanks
