I'll plug the foxwell in and see if I can get a reset, or test of the system....

My alarm system is probably malfunctioning, or incomplete, as I can't find a siren underhood. So I'm interested in your problems as stated here.
When I first got my X5 last year, I had only one failing diamond key, and set off the alarm several times (and once or twice, since). The "clown's nose" flashes rapidly, the headlights & tailights start flashing, and the horn beeps (sometimes, not always), but never a siren.
While reading your problem post, I looked up siren in NewTis, and saw that there should be? a siren underhood, on the left side, near the brake booster. Mine has nothing there, not even a mounting bracket. Missing, or never installed? Realoem shows two types, but neither present on mine. I can't find anything amiss using my Foxwell, except for two undefined faults in the ZKE. The lights flashing are enough for at home, but I'd like a reliable horn sound and/or a siren, for when it's parked in a bad location.
