Is it possible at all to install an alarm in my 2007 C280 4Matic Avantgarde???
I'm in Vancouver BC, I bought a 2007 C280 4Matic Avantgarde two months ago as both me and my wife's big 5-0 present.

My wife came out of work one day this week to find the window all smashed in, the glovebox broken and the door frame a bit bent

I'm looking around to install an after market alarm in it. When we bought, it at the dealer, they did not offer this as an option, I asked.

Now my question is this: Is it possible at all?

One outfit told me that the after market alarms interfere with the onboard MB computer when the alarm is connected to the existing pins (door, trunk, etc) and it would mess up the computer (not to mention the warranty) and that is why they wouldn't do it.

Other outfits said it would be OK. I'm confused.

If the trouble is that both systems, alarm and onboard computer, tap into the same pins, could the alarm wires be somehow opto-isolated so there is no interference?

Does anybody have a C280 with an aftermarket alarm? What are your experiences?

Thank you for your input.
