Situation:
E32 and E34 (535i, M5)vehicles currently equipped with the port installed alarm system (P/N 88 88 1 600 227) use the factory OBC horn as an alert device for the alarm.

For customers who prefer the tone of the siren to that of the OBC horn, or for use in 525i (E34) vehicles not equipped with an OBC horn, a kit has been developed for the installation of this siren.
