Is this difficult? I've seen it offered sub $150 (but then you have to pay the dealer to reprogram the keys). I know it's prewired but don't want to crack into something too difficult.
There were a rash of break-ins today in the parking lot and not one car had an alarm to scare the @#$$%(*& off.

Check post 9.
I would have done it myself if I did it again.

Re: OEM alarm retrofit
Thanks. Is it possible to get the interior motion sensor in the retrofit? Being a coupe, that would be nice.
Is the placement of the tilt sensor the same for M and non-M?

Re: OEM alarm retrofit
Amazing that it is not standard at your side of the pond. We can not even get the car insured without an alarm ...

Re: OEM alarm retrofit
Isn't it though? My '93 Probe GT had an alarm. Neither of my BMWs has. Hubbys pre-owned X5 has it but I'm not sure if it was standard or optional.
