Alarm
All
Mercedes as far as I know have had alarms standard for decades.
The
E430's alarm is an annoying whiny treble siren. I prefer the honking
horn of older Mercedes.
Mercedes
don't make idiotic beeps when you lock or unlock the car, thank God.
I don't think they even have any childish blinking LEDs. I'll have
to look.
The
only way you know your alarm works is to lock it with the windows
down. Come back, stick your hand in, and open the door.
The interior trunk release doesn't release when the E430
is locked.
