Factory Alarm System

LakeRoadZ4 · Post by **LakeRoadZ4** » Fri Sep 23, 2022 2:38 pm

Good Morning. First Post here

I understand that the factory alarm kit is no longer being made (65730302424), Does anyone have any data as to what was in this kit? My car is wired for it (I guess) I have a hood switch that is installed. Can some help? Old Instructions per say
Thanks

My Car - Kind of a family barn find. 2004 Z4 - 3.0 Loaded with 47K Miles. It has a interesting history.

My factory alarm system died after 2 years. It's crap. I tried to get a local shop to put in a Viper alarm, top of the line, but they gave up after 3 days, due to BMW's strange wiring.

I would not recommend the BMW alarm. If you get it, your neighbors will soon know the sound of your car alarm, due to many false alarms.

Thanks for the input. I looked at my hood switch the other day and noticed that someone had cut the wires and tied them back. Now I wonder if my car does in fact have a factory system and the pervious owner had a problem with it as you have alluded to. Are there other ways to tell?

Not sure. Try reconnecting the wires and see if you can arm it. I disconnected mine under the hood due to fake alarms. It lessened them, but they still occur.

The factory alarm that I had installed on my 3.0si works fine and has done since it was installed more than 5 years ago.

I get totally random alarm activations. Most popular reason seems to be the bonnet switch which is why they are often disconnected. Didn’t stop it on my car sadly so i tend to lock it on the key these days.
