F355 Alarm Battery

I had he same problem with the

I had he same problem with the siren of my 355. I made the mistake of taking the car to the dealer and I told them to replace it, thinking that if you can buy a brand new alarm for about $99.00 at Mother's, just a Siren/battery should not represent a big expense. I was presented with a $400.00 bill (and they were nice enough not to charge labor).
For less than $300.00 you coud go to an alarm and window tint place and get a full system that is probably of a better quality than the factory one. They can even program your own original remotes with the new codes.

I found the post in the Tech Section that says I may be able to cut it open and replace the two 3.6v Ni-Cd batteries.

Since the car will work with out it, I am willing to take a chance.

With respect to the 355/360/57

With respect to the 355/360/575 battery alarm situation, this has been well resolved at the following link.

It's best not to run without that alarm piece functioning since it's so easy to cure.

No local alarm shop will be able to deal with this unless they were previously faced with this exact situation.

You will find it quite informative and valuable.

Dead battery: I have a '98 355 with a dead battery and I'm trying to jump start it but can't seem to find the battery. I thought the car had a remote positive and negative terminal accessible through either the trunk or engine compartment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
