[Ah Yew]

Helloo...anybody knows how to make this thing work??

 

[okow]

Ah Yew,
Since you said that it doesnt work. It may be spoilt. Why dont you take it in for a check-up?

 

[Ah Yew]

Hello okow...I haven't take my baby for a check-up. I notice most of the BMW at my area are recond car and most of it doesn't work...So I assume maybe something to do with setting or something else... The BMW that I saw with the flash light working is from Brunei... So don't know lah.... Maybe should ask my mechanic have a check. Anyway...Thank You

... i believe those cars (without the blinking lights) does not come with factory installed alarm.

 

[Ah Yew]

Pion... do you mean original alarm by BMW?? Maybe you're right. Coz my car don't have alarm, only central locking system only. Call few BMW owner....no alarm system also, mostly equip with central locking system and is all Japan Spec.

Anybody knows why Japan Spec don have alarm system??:stupid:

 

[jarance]

japan spec don't have alarm is because maybe nobody dare to steal the car.

usually BMW in black colour belong to yakuza. LOL

AFAIK in Japan, stealing is a crime; even you steal a banana. The punishment quite "heavy". I see most motorbike park at roadside in Tokyo left their helmet at the motorcycle itself and yet nobody dare to steal it.

:24::24::24::24:

Jarance..I think you are right.....:marchmellow:

Strider.. That's why car in this Boleh Land all have to equip with alarm system..:beer:

Another reason is maybe the car is too cheap..they can get it anyway..anytime. Don have to steal the car and risk their life in danger.

My friend working at Brunei just got his second hand BM (E46 320i, yr 2002)weeks ago.... Guys...guess how much he bought his car...

:102:Unbelieveable....$9000 = RM20,000......He told me the car is from Singapore and the flash light is working fine....

 

[jarance]

In Japan, local car are cheap as compare to Msia.

But, Foreign car like BMW, Merz, VW, etc are also heavily tax. Same like here.

 

[Ah Yew]

Jarance... So to make my flash light working, I have to install alarm system. Is that right??

 

[jarance]

yes you have to install BMW alarm system which is basically a plug and play module. However, the remote key will not be "integrate" in the the ignition key.

BTW, what model are you driving? It might give a better picture on the recomendation for the alarm module.

 

[Ah Yew]

Jarance....Thanks for your help...Mine is E46 320i, Yr 2002.
