Default question for people who are alarm experts re: bmw alarms

This is a question to anyone who knows anything about alarms. I love the sound some bmw's make when arming or disarming. (kinda like a whistle) and would love to put that sound in my prelude (yes i know its not a bmw) but I love the sound. what will it take to get this? I've asked bmw and they say the entire alarm system, including sensors, which i know is BS cuz they want 2000$ for it all, telling me i have to have thedoor entry and keys and ****. I asked a stereo shop, and they said just he siren horn, but I dont think that noise is "stored" in the siren. I think it might be a combination of the brain and the siren, but not sure. can anyone clarify this for me, or know where i can get the parts (pick and pull maybe?) Thanks guys and girls.

Evan

i am pretty sure bmw uses or at least used alpine alarms in their cars. the alpine sirens have a lowpitch whistle when arming and disarming. you can probably order a alpine siren for about $20-40 from alpine. if you can still get them the older siren from the 8063 or 8081 is the nicer one.

cool so all i'd need would be the siren right? this sounds too good to be true I hought the sound came from the brain, and the siren was just like the speaker end of it. im sure you guys know what i mean when I say whistle, comes on some 540s and 7 series, its the alarm from the james bond movie in his 740IL *whistle* thanks guys

no it's an alpine. That's one car I do recommend alpine alarms for because you can get a really cheap harness and it plugs right into the BMW
