This is from the other thread I'd recommend to give it a read too

Roof Function Center – There are several variants of this part depending on if your car has a Sunroof or the Teleservices/SOS call button, which can be seen here on RealOEM. Since I had both of those options, I used part #61319351186.
- Alarm Siren – 65759198581(there are several different part numbers for this, any of them should be fine)
- Bracket, Alternative Power Siren – 65759224277
- Hex Nut - Qty. 1 – 07129904870
- Rep. Kit for Socket Housing – Qty. 1 – 61132359998
- Socket Contact w/ Grommet – Qty. 3 - 61130005199
- Bushing/Socket Contact – Qty. 3 – 61130005197
- Double Leaf Spring Contact – Qty. 1 – 61130007437
- OEM Wire Tap – Qty. 1 - 61138364566

BUT I did not buy everything on this list because I believe that I could take some " short cuts" what you do need for sure is the roof function sensor because the ones for alarm system have sensors inside of them (thank you John for informing me LOL) and the siren bell/bracket. The wiring parts are up on this list BUT I am taking a little different route I will update if it works with this "shortcut"

Awesome sounds good here's the direct link to it

DIY: F30 OEM Alarm Retrofit (320i/328i) https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1230289

Getting back on track for the thread.

Boot was left open overnight accidentally and did not hear or see anything until next in the car. Luckily did not rain!

Hand in vehicle with windows down after 15 minutes did not wield a result.

Above two codes returned.

Would've helped to have this before someone recently damaged my car to alert anyone to act as a witness or even have me look outside to see what was going on.

Booked in a few weeks into Jan. Feel like I've had enough troubleshooting.

What is coding alarm system?

[KTE]

Can anyone confirm that attempting to access their car without the key fob sets off the alarm?

Recently tested again on a colleagues car and mine, both black display panels and instrument dials lit up inside the vehicles.

On further reading, apparently the chirp from locking/unlocking uses the alarm siren. So can’t figure out what is going on, as that works.

ISTA reports alarm as triggered with a time stamp.

I presume enabling the system? Not entirely sure.



Edit: Finally triggered, used the physical key to unlock the car inside the door.

Alarm sounded as soon as the door handle was pulled.

I did actually Jack up the car prior to this and nothing happened, it was high enough for wheels to be taken off...

Did u inject the cafd in type roof module n code it correctly? I need to inject two cafds. The level sensor is in the alarm siren itself.

If I reach in and try to open my door while locked the alarm does go off.

Don’t believe I made any changes to modules that relate to the alarm. Maybe let me know otherwise from the below? It is stock and should be working.

SM2 (return to driving position/return back to exit), BKOMBI (digital display), FEM BODY (door handle lights on reverse), ENTRYNAV (sports display, unlock chirp, 8.8” screen, different start up logo).

Since the above everything has been changed back to default. For testing, and eventually any warranty work required.

Windows left slightly down on lock, or convertible?

I tried jacking up one wheel on mine to test the alarm, and it DEFINITELY sounds off. You don't even have to lift the car that far either.

I also tried leaving a window open and leaning inside to see if the motion sensor works. And it does. Overall, it seems like a decent factory alarm.

I wish the flashing "clown nose" on the rear view mirror was a little brighter, though.

Roll windows down close door n lock it. Reach inside n open door while ur standing on outside n alarm should go off.

High enough to remove the wheel and didn’t do a thing.

So now that I know the siren works it’s perhaps a levelling sensor and interior motion sensor problem...

Car is with the dealership so they can narrow it down further because I relayed everything I’ve tested.

Tried that and also didn’t get the expected result, just the clown nose flashing red. Peculiar case this one. As above it’s not with me anymore so interested to see what they get back to me on this one.

Well the level sensor is inside the siren I'm pretty sure but they'll figure it out. Let us kno what they say. Goodluck.

Got a call from the SA, unfortunately they couldn’t find any faults and the tech thinks the alarm performed as it should..

I’ll be getting more info tomorrow on what “it should” is defined as, because someone hitting into my car without an alarm triggering doesn’t sound right!

On another note, while I have the loan I’ll test out a few things on it.

The alarm wount go off if someone hit it unless u install sensors.

Anyone using a fake red blinking LED like me?

Powered by solar, cost $5 on eBay.

Stuck to back of mirror, impossible to see without trying.

Was going to retrofit the alarm but this and my Saturday Night Special have been working thus far.
