Hi! I'm anxiously awaiting "Dame Edna" & was wondering if anyone can tell me if the remote for the factory alarm is incorporated into the fob or if it is an additional remote just for the alarm? Also, can anyone with the factory Sirius & factory nav tell me what the antenna looks like?

 

Don't know about the alarm, but I would suspect that it is the same remote, just like BMW.

The antenna is the same on all R56's. No visual difference with Nav and/or Sirius

 

The fob is the same. The lock button engages the alarm, the unlock disengages it. The antennas a pre-wired. The shark fin base is the nav/sat antenna. The half-mile long spike is for the radio.

 

Yep, exactly.

 

Thanks y'all.
Word from dealer is that as of today, Jul 9, Dame Edna has cleared inspection @ Charleston and is waiting for transport to Texas.
Will the wait ever end.....

 

is the alarm now available?

 

Been availble since June 1st. You have to go through your MA the configurator does not have it last time i checked.

Its 400 bucks.

 

Well, I asked my MA about it like 2 weeks ago and was told it wasn't available yet, i'll ask again I guess

 

It is definitely available as it was part of my order and my Mini should be passing through the Panama Canal this weekend. The audio package also isn't available via the online configurator but it is also available to them in the ordering system. daveag98 is correct, the alarm costs $400 and it is factory installed.
