Hi everyone. 09 Mini here. I did a proper search and it seems people are in fact getting the factory alarm installed after the fact at their local dealers. I am in Bergen County NJ, so it sounds like Morristown Mini is my best bet? Anyone have a specific contact I should call? It sounds like people are paying anywhere from $300 - $500 installed.

Secondly, the dang rear tow hook cover keeps popping off. Took it to the dealer and I think they just did what I found in the only thread a search yielded... widened the little tabs. But unfortunately, it didn't do much of anything. Cause now the cover is off and I can't even pop it in temporarily. Only fix is to ask for a replacement??

Thanks everyone. hopefully I can contribute to the forum and not just ask noob questions in the near future. Appreciate the help!
