I believe all you get without the Alarm System is a light flash when you lock/unlock the doors. That's okay with me. I hate those aftermarket alarms that honk the horn when the doors are locked/alarm set.
Confirmation signals from the vehicle
Via the Central Information Display (CID):
- "My MINI"
- "Vehicle settings"
- "Doors/Key"
- Deactivate or activate the desired con- firmation signals.
– Locking the vehicle while a device is connected to the socket for the OBD On- board-Diagnosis. For socket for the OBD Onboard Diagnosis, refer to page 261.
The alarm system signals these changes vis- ually and acoustically:
- – Acoustic alarm:
Depending on local regulations, the
acoustic alarm may be suppressed.
- – Visual alarm:
By flashing of the hazard warning sys- tem and headlights, where required.
Do not modify the system to ensure func- tion of the alarm system.
