Making Car Locking More Visible

[tomy]

I have a mki with infra red central locking , which isnt brilliant and i am never sure if the locking has activated or not without checking a door , I want to add either a compatible alarm or something that flashes the indicators to let you know that the cenral locking is being opened or closed , Any one addded an alarm or similar also it might improve the range of my remote locking of the car because the infra red system has a very poor range as it is "line of sight" activated.

If you get a small piezo sirren and conect it to the boot lock (you can do this behind the rear quarter panel on the right hand side, looking from the rear ) then every time you activate the locking the piezo will sound.

Indicators flash on my Mk1 as standard when the remote locking is activated ?? :lol:

I forgot all about that, you can set the lights to flash with VagCom.

Same here, Although it is a new alarm I had fitted.

But I'm sure it did it before that.

My indicators dont flash and i havent got vag com , A small piezo might be a good idea but I might get a compatible alarm because the remote key on my car has a very poor range as its inrfra red :lol:

Quite a few people on here seem to be using the Cobra 1046 (not me though)

 

It seem a popular choice and is reasonably priced (do a google), perhaps someone can tell you if it has an audible or visual warning.

how do you set it using vag-com then???

The Cobra 1046 will flash the indicators
