Factory alarm instructions needed

I just purchased the factory Mini alarm and need the install instructions. Hoping someone has them in a PDF format. Help?

Exactly what I needed. Thank you. Now I just need the car to get here. Boats as too slow. How about Mini-Air to deliver all new cars.

One thing to note is that I believe that (although no one knows for sure yet) all of the new MINIs built on or after 01/01/05 will now have a new orange low washer fluid indicator light/LED on the wiper stalk. This presents a problem for you if your new car has this feature as the current OEM MINI alarms replace the wiper stalk with a new one that has a red flashing light/LED on the end of the stalk.

I understand that MINI will be revising the alarm and moving the alarm's LED over to the head lamp stalk instead. However, if you've purchased an alarm kit for one of the earlier built 05 cars, then it will have the wrong replacement stalk in it. Knowing how MINI operates in the USA, it might take them a while to make the proper alarm/stalk available here.

I hope this info doesn't put a kink in your plans, but I'm sure that you'd like know (I'm in the same dilemma BTW)...

Thank you for the heads up. Same dilemma. Bummer.
