Well actually - Alex mentioned alarm. Alex you are speaking of the alarm installed by the dealer? Because there is no 'standard' alarm installed by default on the car. If it is the dealer installed BMW alarm ALex is asking about, did we ever determine if it does 'honk' the horn?

And you couldn't just write "yes" or "no" in the time it took you to write this?!

If the dealer has to install the alarm then I might tell him to cancel the option as I dont want them pulling bits of my car apart to install it.

Yes, it is a dealer option.

I thought a courteous link to the thread would be more informative. :thumbup:

From the amount of uncertainty in the thread, it seems as if there is no way to make it chirp. At least not without the alarm.

Well... I started that original thread, and I came to the same conclusion.

Funny, the sales rep at the dealership was looking for a particular car for me to check out the last time I was there, and he kept hitting the lock/unlock on the remote key as we drove around in a golf cart. We could not see any lights flashing anywhere in the inventory parking lot, and we drove and drove and drove, until we finally discovered the car. It was indeed hard to find! I kept laughing to myself that if the car had only emitted just a tiny little chirp, we would have found it instantly!

^ when I bought my ZHP, just over 2 years ago, I was quite unhappy that there were no chirps or honks from the keyless system. However, 2 years later, it doesn't bother me, she can stay silent and stealthy. Let the honda's and nissans chirp and honk. At night, the interior lights will tell you if you un-locked it, and day or night the turn signals will tell you if you locked it...
