E39 540i '96 factory alarm

Recommended Posts

Been searching many forums on this but most come back with alarm problems.

Im trying to figure out if my car has a factory alarm and if so how do i go about re-activating it as it is clearly not working and never has since Ive owned the car. Looking in the little red clown nose under the mirror it seems as though it has something inside it (LED maybe?) but hard to tell without pulling the thing off.

Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated.

Its a jap import.

If you want to PM me the last 7 digits (2 letters 5 numbers) of your chassis number I can tell you if it was fitted originally.

otherwise, go HERE and follow the destructions about OPTIONS and you'll get a full factory list.

You can also look under the rear seat - the build sheet should be tucked in there. It's a dotmatrix printout of the same info.

Judging by that i reckon it does have an alarm installed. Can you confirm this Allan? I PM'd you too.

If it does have one? Whats probably happened to it? Can I get it going again or is it a trip to the stealers....?

I sent ALL the details in the PM, but it appers not to have the alarm.

Mine flashes the indicators when you lock it, but it has no alarm either. (Of course I coded it to flash them anyway :lol: )
