    S302A - Alarm System & S8S2A - Coding Alarm Signal

    Hi All,

    My first post here - I just purchased an used 420D (Dec 2017) and I am already looking for an alarm and GPS tracker.

    Based on my VIN, the car is already equipped with:
    - S302A - Alarm System
    - S8S2A - Coding Alarm Signal

    What does it mean? How do I use it?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I suggest you pop into a local BMW dealer and ask them and also read the manual on how the OEM alarm works/operates. If you are now looking to fit an aftermarket alarm and GPS tracker, you might as well learn on the operation of that as it'll most likely bypass you needing to know the OEM alarm.

    Cheers, Dennis!

    Thanks for your reply. I have actually found an easy way to understand how to use the optional installed: the BMW manual app. By inserting the VIN, the app only shows instructions for the installed equipment, very convenient!
