I had sold couple of things to get this sorted mate, and then ended up buying 6 channel amp.

I will buy it soon mate.

How is your unit going? Tried other features?

Noticed in some areas it doesn't give a googlemaps url when requesting absolute address (but you do still have the general region - 200 yard radius) and when calling drops in a "," so the link doesn't take you anywhere. Going to see if I can sort that out!

DIY/ Aftermarket options of making your BMW secure - another suggestion

Is removing the (2 ??) fuel pump fuses an option or would it cause problems if they tried to start it ?

shortie · 10-29-2012, 06:42 PM

Anyone connected up a break glass sensor yet?

Dizzle · 11-12-2012, 08:27 AM

Good question ^^

Also has anyone fitted a louder siren? What wires do you have to splice? Having heard mine this weekend I doubt it would put fear into a bunny.

Excellent product.
Thanks for sharing Phil.

Having recently purchased my car and having had a good read of this thread, I'd like to do something about my OBD.

Does anyone know of somewhere around South East London that I could take the car to get the port moved? DIY on the car is not one of my strong points unfortunately!

If you car qualifies for security update, book your car.
And check what phil has posted.
I guess that is a decent lock.

Thanks- how do I know if the car qualifies? (apologies if I've missed it in the thread!)

From what I was reading, it didn't seem to be clear cut that the security update completely resolves the problem.

Will also check out that lock as well.

If your car is built after 03/2007, then they should update your car.
You can contact them on this or this number to confirm.

You may fancy reading this thread.

Nice one, got it booked in for the update at the local dealer.

Saw that as well, only thing puts me off is that its only as strong as the plastic trim it locks behind. Would definitely have one if it locked into metal etc.

Well fingers crossed i take possession of my new E90 Lci 325d M Sport friday morning, question is do i have another Viper installed like the last one. Decisions decisions
