Louder OEM Alarm Siren?

toicy4ya · 07-09-2012, 05:43 AM

Sup Guys,

I installed the oem alarm over the weekend. It was a quick install but haven't had the opportunity to code it yet. While testing the alarm I was surprised by how low the siren is. I immediately thought of the car sitting I the middle of a mall parking lot with the siren going off while passerby's wonder what is that unique bird call

Is there anything I can do to increase the volume on this thing? what about an air horn? Yea I know their annoying, but theyre pretty loud and will attract more attention then the bird call I have for a siren.

Do a search in the Coding section - there is a line of code (can't remember offhand) that will change the volume level.

Allthough when I installed/coded my alarm, the volume was already set at highest level and is very noticeable...

Has anyone ever installed a air horn on their E90?

Air horn would be nice. I would think its just install of just the wires.

Im curious as well as concerned whether it may throw any codes. I've heard how sensitive a Bimmer electronics components can be.
