OEM alarm retrofit

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.

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?

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

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.
