Thanks. Does the alarm integrate onto the key fob(?) so that you
aren't have to carry around some other device?
I haven't read it in the standard features or as an option but I'm
assuming all models have remote door unlock. Do all also have remote
start?

Remote door locks are standard, and when the doors are locked from the
outside, the ignition is also disabled. I don't know about remote start, but
this feature is only available on automatic transmission cars.

Some? It's so easy, my daughter installed her's by herself.
She has an E46 and I bought her the factory alarm system for Christmas. She
put the parts in by herself in under an hour.
