How do you reset the factory alarm system if the initializing of a new key transmitter fails?

The factory alarm for the E34 cars was not in the key, but in a remote fob. That initialization procedure should be to disconnect the alarm module for 30 seconds. If no joy, call John at Autobahn dismantling,(619)444-2290 He will guide you.
