As long as there are no OEM wires cut / tampered, it should be OK.
It's a grey area and manufacturers like to keep quiet instead of explaining how installing accessories will affect warranty. Logically installing something into the electrical system like audio system or alarm should not affect warranty of non-related parts like engine and transmission. But if your wipers malfunction can they blame it on your aftermarket alarm? It's possible but arguable. If you don't want to have any argument about warranty don't install anything aftermarket but you may be missing out on better security/conveniences/audio for your car.

If we just stick to the authorized shops the choice is very limited and the price is very high. I was quoted RM580 by GS Accessories for brake autolock and for the car lock/unlock sound they can't do anything about it (My GL spec only flash light when locking/unlocking). But I can install a basic alarm with brake autolock and arm/disarm sound for only RM200.

Everything quoted by GS at least double the market rate, because of the name of "authorized shop", which is crazy.
Anyway I done my auto-breaklock somewhere else with less than RM300. Plan to install auto folding mirror as well.

Anybody fitted an aftermarket alarm to their M3? Will it invalidate warranty?
I just realized we can add keyless entry, auto lock and lock/unlock sound with a suitable alarm system. Preferably a 2 way alarm which can communicate with the remote when the alarm triggers. Nowadays cars with immobilizers are no longer safe.
if u upgrade your alarm to 2-way, it will most likely also come with a feature to remote-start your car.

I'm actually not interested in remote start. I'm looking for a 2 way alarm with keyless entry, auto arming, auto brake lock and auto door release when ignition off. If any bros here can shorten my research I'll be grateful.
Hi All Sifu's... Mada 3 Aluminum Metalic Sedan reporting... Collected car 3 weeks ago & my wife driving it now.. So far so good... No complains about the absorber sound...
Anyone adjusting the brightness of the dashboard by twisting the odometer? I tried, but it seems like no changes oso. Wondering i am doing the wrong way...

Try Clifford 2 way alarms. They have models with keyless entry but not sure about the brake autolock. The feature could be so common that they didn't mention it.
