Hello Members,

I am currently looking for the best alarm possible for the average price. Only thing I need your help with is finding an alarm that will work best with my comfort access.

I am looking for an alarm that simply unlocks, locks, opens trunk, has a tilt sensor and shock sensor. If there is one that has an adjustable sensor module even better. I like my alarm to be very sensitive. Will even perhaps like it to have a proximity sensor.

Is there anything out there that can fit my needs and works great with comfort access ?

Its for going to be for a e92 coupe with a built date of 07/09.

Thanks

I like my alarm to be very sensitive.

First off, I'm really glad I don't live near you.

Viper CAN-OEM.

My car sleeps outside, so I need it to be sensitive. I am modding my car and want to make sure its responsive to even the slightest little hit.

Thanks for the advice. I will look into the Viper.

No, you dont need it to be sensitive. You need it to be accurate. Get the 507M tilt sensor and the 509u ultrasonic. Then set the impact sensor for a reasonable level. False alarms do NOT create security.

I think you can get the SmartStsrt module connected to the CAN-OEM and have smartphone notification of an alarm...

This alarm sounds great. So I can buy the Viper CAN/OEM and add both the tilt and ultrasonic sensor ?

I dont have a smart phone now but when I do I will def. add the smartstart module so i can receive notifications

BUMP.

About to pull the trigger on ordering the alarm but before I do, I found that DEI has many CAN-OEM alarms. Would you guys know which one below is the best one ?

3901T, 3901V, 330X1 ?

Thanks guys

Only one is compatible with BMW. Other two don't list your car as supported.

Thanks VP. according to xpresskit, the 3901T is the one compatable but its listed as a Python not a Viper. Same quality alarm with smartstart notification option?

Also doesnt look like expresskit has the option to buy, any sites where i can purchase the kit along with the tilt and ultrsonic sensor ?

Here are a few places. not sure if the smartstart will work with this alarm. i would ask DEI (xpresskit). they probably have the options sensors on one of these sites also.

buy.com has it for 48.99 and newegg has it for 50.00 (+1.99 shipping).

you will also need the XKLOADER2 (approx $30) to program the bmw firmware to it, unless you can borrow one from someone or get a shop to program it for you:

also, mine came with Hornet stickers. no brand is listed on the box besides Directed Electronics (DEI) and Xpresskit.

Thanks Mickris, I will look through those sites and put together a kit. Didn't know I needed the XKloader.

I am going to buy the 3901T + XKLOADER + 507M tilt sensor + 509U ultrasonic sensor.

I believe with this alarm system I should be ready. I will contact xpresskit and see if its possible to get the module so i can receive phone notifications.

no problem. i just installed this alarm myself in my 2011 328i sedan. I wrote up a rough install guide in this thread (its at the bottom of page 2) if you want to do it yourself:

i think it should be pretty much the same for a coupe.

Just read your thread. I don't think I am good for this type of job. Plus I am installing an ultrasonic sensor and tilt sensor so it will be a little more complicated. I am just going to buy everything online and take it to a local shop.

Good DIY for those who are willing to try though
