Where is the alarm?

[frank3]

Just got a '95 525i and I want to check to see if it has an alarm system in it (trunk says "pre-wired"). It's possible that the prior owner just lost the keyfob/transmitter.

Same thing occured on my 325i (alarm is behind glovebox)...alarm already installed and I bought a keyfob off of ebay for it.

it's under the rear seat on the driver side. Just lift up the rear seat cushion and you'll see the unit. It's easy to spot. I have a repair manual for sale.... I only kept this car for 9 months, bought a 97' 540i... The manual comes handy in situations like this.

I used to have a 95 525i without an alarm but it was wired for it. I bought the unit from Bavauto with the remote. I still have two chips with me to activate the remote unit.

yep! it's right there under the back seat...and it is actually there! Means all I have to do is pick up a transmitter (81 11 1 467 015) and I'll have myself an active alarm system (and remote door opener).

There are two things you'll have to buy, a transmitter ($100) and the chip ($33+)!!
I bought these at Bavauto... check prices before buying...
Are you interested in the manual??? $30 including shipping and I'll throw in the chips... I have no need for any of this.. You only have to buy the transmitter...

Thanks LOS...I already have manual. I'll look to ebay for tranmitter (usually around $40).
