Well ... the good news is that my dealer finally bothered to respond. The bad news is the first response completely ignored the question (which was ... could they install the retrofit kit and at what cost).

The next reply simply set me off: Quote:
So ... I've solved one dilemma ... it's time to find a better dealer, but I'm pretty much resigned to self-install if I can find someone willing to do the programming. |

Could you get in touch with me about your install process? I'm about to do this and have some questions after reviewing the instructions. Thanks!

I started the install this past Saturday and noticed after pulling down the headliner cover that it does not have the slits. So I have placed an order through Schmiedmann for this. My local BMW parts department is charging three times more than what I can get it from Schmiedmann's shipped. My question is about my interior rear mirror. I have the Premium Package and the mirror has the compass, garage opener and auto dimmer. The clown nose on the mirror is a lot smaller than those I've see on this forum. Without having to take the mirror off I was wondering if anyone knew if this is a redesign or if this will not work with the alarm?

1. You have a 2010, so you are NOT-prewired, right? 2. I have the basic mirror, Am I ok? 3. Do you have the P/N of any extra parts not included in the kit? Thank you so much. Good luck with your install!

1) correct 2) If you don't have premium package then you'll most likely need to buy a mirror also. 3) If you don't have comfort access then you have to buy an additional part I believe. It's covered in the instructions. |

My 2010 335i E90 LCI came with Premium package and Comfort Access, no prewire.
My mirror has autodim, compass and Universal Remote Control. I was able to verify the part number on my mirror (Part no. 51-16-9-192-321). It looks like BMW made the clown nose smaller. My motion sensor cover doesn't have the slits so I had to replace the whole unit. The cover is attached to the rear reading light fixture and is one part and doesn't come separate. Part no 61-31-9-201-645 is for alarm motion sensor cover and lighting option (black). I will be getting the cover this Friday and will start the installation on Saturday. Wish me luck.

Finally finished the install. I just need to get it activated. An indy shop here in Phoenix will do it for $49.
This install was very time consuming and frustrating. A big PITA. If I had to do it over again I would pass on it. The back of the fuse panel on my 2010 is different than what is in the instructions. I had an indy bmw shop wire this for me since the location on the instructions didn't exist. The rest was pretty easy, just time consuming. If anyone is doing this install I can show you where to plug in the alarm cable if needed. Feel free to PM me with any questions. |

I printed off the instructions and took them to a few local shops. They all said it was too much of a hassle. In the end it will probably be cheaper to do remoteKey.

I'm also considering an aftermarket alarm with remote start. I've had it on several past cars and kinda miss it. |

I'm interested in doing this to my car as well just want to know what it's gonna consist of and if I should attempt at it myself. I have a '10 E90 w/comfort and Premium. Where did you find the instructions for the non Pre wired cars.

Sure is. And some people have posted the their actual car did not exactly match the instructions, so they had to improvise. Cars without CA are even more difficult.
You have to REALLY want the alarm to dive into this retrofit project. |
