Unlocking lights

Anybody know if it is possible to get the indicator lights programmed to flash when you press the unlock button on the remote control? That would be really handy.

Sounds like a neat idea, but don't think its possible.

As far as I know, the indicator lights flash once when the car is locked, and the interior lights turn on when the car is unlocked.

Yeah - but that doesn't help in daylight...

It seems like it should be fasible to get the lights to flash twice for opening or something. Shouldn't be beyond the wit of man...

Ya, I agree.

I would like a beeping noise when the car locks, along with one flash of the indicator lights.

Then when the car is unlocked, just one flash of the indicator lights and no beeping.

My Dads BMW is the same, the only time it would be useful if there was one flash for opening and 2 flashes for locking etc

I recall a discussion that they used to do this on the very early cars, (like UK launch cars) but it got changed due to fears about carjacking. Makes sense, but also means its possible, but probably unlikely a dealer can do it.

Magic 8-ball was correct. All be in awe of Magic 8 ball.
