DIY install the alarm, and go to Nixon to activate it, shouldn't be more than $50.

Nixon Automotive is a great store. However, if you have I-Drive, you need to look for the alarm coding done elsewhere.

I tried Nixon, and their computer could not make the alarm appear as a menu in I-Drive (which it should). It appears the computer only activated my motion sensor.

okay i will msn u once i got the alarm...
231 alarm + 15-20 dollars shipping to vancouver, around 20-40 dollars custom...
if we can do a DIY and 50$ activate...we will save alots

ok here is the deal so i did some math
if i get the alarm from ticher 231+20 shipping+40custom =291then ask bj to install and activate is 260* 1.13(tax)= 294 labor
from bj= 585
and....
291 for the alarm lets say...
then we DIY and go to the shop that GEN E92 were talking about...
lets say tey charge around 70
it's only 361...

I'm in Toronto and want to get the alarm too but don't know where to go to get it activated and also don't have the jack pad/adaptor to lift my car up. Any of the GTA folks here can tell me where to go for the activation and/or off to help with the jacking?

to be honest that's the only reason i want it
lol

Kit, maybe u can find out how much "acitivation" is at BJ, like we can
install and then, get them to do the final step.

Guys, I would suggest to go to Dealer for activation. I tried to save some money and have it programmed at a shop, but I had nothing but problems and they could not do it. I ended up going to Mississauga BMW which charged me 1 hour labour ($115+tax). They had to update the software level in the car first for the alarm coding to work, and that's why it's not a good idea to go to a third party shop...

Blacksnow · 12-09-2007, 01:57 PM

Oh, I'm looking into get my OEM alarm from the States as well and install it here.
Probably will do it myself. I haven't order the alarm yet, but might to it in the next couple days.

Just activate is 115 + tax in Mississauga BMW...and 180 + tax with installation at BMW autohaus...seems it's easier to just give autohaus to install the alarm for me for the extra $65 and no need to know how to jack up the car.
