oem alarm: difference between 82111496445 & 82111469444
 

Can someone tell me the difference between stock oem alarms #82111469444 (listed on realoem as stock e36 alarm) and 82111496445 (cant find it on realoem).

Anyone know of any place were I can identify that 82111496445 fits e36.

Thanks Eddie

Someone asked the exact same question.

With no answer.

When I search various BMW dealers it's not found.
Normally it would say NLA.
I do see that number listed on eBay.
Is it possible that they are specific for different countries?

A last digit change like that usualy means an upgrade from the other, or a minor difference. Do you need to fix yours or are looking to install?

Digits in the middle are different also.

82 11 1 469 444
82 11 1 496 445

I'm looking to find one and install it onto my 95 ti. Realoem says that I need part no. 82 11 1 469 444 but cant find one (which also says on realoem.com that later models require the same part no.). But I could find part no. 82 11 1 496 445 a lot on ebay and such. I'm thinking maybe just like mtlblue is where it might be that the part supersedes to the part no. 82 11 1 496 445. Well I'm going to be purchasing one in about 4-5 days so I'll let you know if it works on my car.

Did it work?

I was just going to update this thread tonight :smile:. YES it works perfect (I purchased a module and (2) two button key fobs; all serial #'s match). So I'm thinking that the part #82 11 1 469 444 is a 'kit' (module and key fobs) and the part #82 11 1 496 445 (module only)?!? I purchased the item on eBay which happened to be a seller that was local. I just purchased a factory siren from eBay to complete my 'alarm' install.

Older and Newer Factory E36 Alarms
 

For those whom have ever wondered. Either alarm style will fit in any year e36 car, though not sure about 1992.

I have installed an older three button system in a 1998 318ti, and it was plug and play, so we now know they are just different designs for the same car.
