Ideally, he should have added +K302 (it's the official VO code for a retrofitted alarm, $302 is if the car came with the alarm) to the VO and recode the whole car with a blank .MAN file. That will guarantee that all the settings were set to properly to the BMW defaults for the alarm in all required modules.
I recently installed the alarm retrofit kit into my 2010 E90 LCI and was having the same problem getting all parts of the alarm to work, including the panic option. I added $302 to the VO at first and it didn't work so I tried +K302 and recoded the car. Voila the alarm works. All of the other modules reflect the proper alarm options.
