2014 428I Alarm
Hello guys!
I have recently purchased a 2014 428I. I has no idea the car was NOT equipped with Alarm system. Does anyone know if its possible to add factory alarm to this car? Or just somehow modify the wiring so the car beeps when the doors open or close?
Thank you

try pressing the panic button and check if it will make a sound. since your light flashes then your sound/ chime/acoustic might be disabled. its in the settings.
read the manual. check with your dealer and ask them to help you out.
go to
1. settings
2. doors/key
3. activate or deactivate desired confirmation signals (acoustic and flash) when unlocking and locking doors.

Is there any way to add a buzzer to the existing factory wiring? Or maybe it can be programed? Already tried dealership and they are clueless!!!
Thank you

Just to make sure you might want to stop by your local dealer.

Need an Alarm for 428i
I too am disappointed an alarm is not a standard. I only realized this after I purchased the car, which I love with or without an alarm. So would love to hear what you all come up with a best solution to add an alarm.
