Alarm tell tale light.

[CogZog]

I went out to the car the other night and noticed that there is no tell tale light for the car alarm? Has anyone else got a light?

No I haven’t got one either , there isn’t one.

Well how ridiculous!

That's to preserve the 12v battery

You can buy a small battery powered red LED off eBay for a few quid.......I got several scattered about our house to supplement the proper ones. I'm a big believer in deterrents.

Pardon our interruption...

Its not ridiculous as every new car has an alarm today and everyone knows it. The indicators were relevant years ago when no one knew if a given car was alarmed or not...

Could be handy for someone who likes to look out their window to see if the car is locked or the alarm is armed.

I know the mirrors folded are a good indication the car is locked but a bit of visual identification in the dark might not go amiss.

The Excite model doesn't have the folding mirrors so a visual aid would be the only indication that the alarm is set, other than physically yanking the door handle.
