bmw alarm activation price?

[Mfan225]

hi. i have a 2005 330ci without an alarm. i would like to get it activated, but i'm wondering how much it would cost me. any ideas?​

First they have to install the alarm, and then activate it.

It should cost about $400-450 total ($200 in parts + 2 hours labor).

You can buy one online from Pacific, Circle or Tischer BMW for about $225.00 and install it yourself in about an hour. After installation, the dealer will have to activate it. Some will do it for nothing if your having other service done, most will charge you. Get a quote and don't pay more than an 1/2 labor for activation.

a lot of cities in so cali now ban alarms 'cuz they consider them a noise nuisance. that is, if ur car alarm goes off in a parking lot and a cop or meter maid is nearby- it's an automatic ticket.

how sweet is that?
