In regards to the BMW 1 series alarm. It is not possible to perform a retrofit after the alarm is installed into the vehicle. Please at this time "do not" sale to any client or attempt to install this alarm in any 1 series vehicle until further notice. Software is not available at this time. Possibly in approx. 1 month as per BMW. We will let you know when it arrives. Thank you.

Whats an alarm do? In my experience.. nothing!

Interesting. I thought we had a few users on here who had the alarm.

Perhaps some dealers have been updated and others have not.. Very probable

My SA told me the same thing. "Software is not fully functional at this time". Version 29.02.XX still not able to fix my panic alarm issue. However, the chirp does get louder.

With the 29.02, did the exhaust sound deeper and the car got slower? that's what some people have reported on 335's.

Don't know about the exhaust, but I do feel the car got slower on first and second gear since my first alarm sw update couple weeks ago. :iono:
