Produced to July 23, 2014
With option 0302 (Alarm system)
SITUATION
When the anti-theft alarm (DWA) is triggered, the horn comes on instead of the alarm siren.
CAUSE
DWA internal monitoring is too sensitive.
CORRECTION
Program the vehicle with ISTA/P 3.53.1 or higher.
PROCEDURE
1. Perform diagnosis using the latest version of ISTA. Only if applicable, diagnose any relevant faults stored in
the DWA alarm system by completing the test plans.
2. Program the vehicle with ISTA/P 3.53.1 or higher.
NOTE: The new integration levels after programming with ISTA/P 3.53.0 are displayed below:

F020-14-07-500
If the I-level is higher and the problem still exists, create a PuMA Info Only case.
Note that ISTA/P will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the
latest software. For information on programming and coding with ISTA/P, refer to CenterNet / Aftersales Portal /
Service / Workshop Technology / Vehicle Programming.
Always connect a BMW approved battery charger/power supply (SI B04 23 10).
