Here's a picture I took yesterday at Schomp MINI here in Denver. The red portion of the stalk contains a flashing LED when the Alarm is activeated (very similar to the one on the lower portion of the rear view mirror on the BMW's).




Factory Alarm: $450

 

$450?? That's it??? Can you get us some more details? As in, is this a dealer mod, or is it a factory mod?

It was a factory installed option for about a month of the build. Then it was deleted by the factory. It will soon be a dealer installed option. All cars (except the pre-specs) are prewired for the alarm. So now the dealer gets to make $$$ of the alarm instead of MINI.

 

My dealer said it will be a $425 option on their cars...along w/the $800 CD changer and $115 floormats.

 

i got my mini on july 16th first one in us (or so i was told) with the factory installed alarm.... it looks exactly like the picture... it's a motion sensor alarm.... and it cost $450 extra.... well worth it not to go through the hassle of having an outside co put it in in my opinion!!!

 

 

oh,
this is a very nice alarm system--especially when the LED is mounted on the stalk like that. unfortunately for my, my cooper s is a prespec version and therefore, cannot use this alarm system. too bad. on the other hand, i can still motor without the factory alarm. so keep on motoring!!!!
