 Subject: E46 Universal Transmitter Installation
 
 Hello Fellow Enthusiasts!!
 
 I'm sorry for the longish post.  Please fast forward if needed.  Last night
 I installed a Universal Transmitter (garage door opener) in my new 1999 E46
 323iA.  It was very easy.  Here's how I did it in case any of you other
 E46ers out there want to do it too.
 
 The parts:  The Universal Transmitter (pn 82-11-1-470-125).  I paid $145
 including shipping from the BMW Store, 800-543-1649.  But you may want to
 check around more at your favorite parts purveyors.  That's it!!  No other
 parts needed.  When you open it up and read the directions you'll thin >>

~~ I bought mine for my 99' 323 from Hendrick BMW (advertise in STAR). They
charged me only $120 for the Universal Transmitter, and additionally only
charged me $220 for the $300 BMW Alarm Kit for the new E-46. Boy, does that
car do neat stuff when you have the alarm.

~~Downside. I had the dealer install the Universal Transmitter. Charged me $35
labor.
Alarm System: charged me 1.50 hrs. labor, or $105.00. It was worth it. It took
them 2.0 hours in reality.
