Did it come with directions of any kind? I installed one in my dad's E36 M3 and I had to take out essentially the whole glove box. behind that is all the wiring and it plugged in there. To get this off you need to take out 8 screws(one in each air vent, and four from behind the glove box door, two down underneath) then you have to take out the glove box light(push it back i think?) and there is a hex bolt in behind the light. :thumbup: If you want some help send me a PM and I'll see what I can do for ya :bigpimp:
The OEM alarm/keyless entry is a plug & play unit.
Others that are straight plug ins:

There are likely others out there that go in without cutting & splicing. I personally went with the BMW alarm, good unit.
Cutting & splicing is a pain in the ass, luckily the harness is right there behind the glovebox. Color code:
