There’s an LED bulb right under the rearview mirror in your car. Under normal circumstances, this would light up whenever the alarm is armed. When you turn off the headlights in your car after driving it to a location, there are two possible scenarios:
1. If the bulb is not lit up when you turn off your headlights, then it means that the alarm has been disarmed automatically upon shutting off the headlights.
2. If this bulb is lit up when you turn off your headlights, then it means that you have to manually disarm the alarm system within five seconds by unlocking all doors and opening the driver’s door.
In the first case, you can unlock all doors and open the driver’s door before turning off your headlights. In this way, your alarm system will automatically be disarmed after five seconds without having to manually intervene.
In the second case, if you turn off your car normally (without opening any of the doors) after parking it, all you need to do is unlock your driver’s door within five seconds.
In the second case, if you turn off your car normally (without opening any of the doors) after parking it, all you need to do is unlock your driver’s door within five seconds. There is also another way, which involves removing the LED bulb under the mirror. If you do this, the alarm will automatically be disarmed without having to open any of the doors.
Whichever method you choose, make sure that you remember the steps so that you can disarm your BMW alarm system quickly and easily next time.
In addition, you can also buy an aftermarket alarm system that is much easier to use. This system will allow you to arm and disarm your car with the push of a button, so there’s no need to remember any complicated steps.
