Has anyone installed a flashing led on there dash to give the impression of an alarm been fitted? If so where did you take the feed from? Theres a flashing one on the drivers door could the feed from there? Also theres plenty of remote central locking kits on the bay but are any of the standard kit fitted to octys or golfs compatible? Thanks

Years ago I fitted one using a micro switch and a permanent live, hid the switch under the dash.

To be honest you don't really need one in an octy the for led is enough for most would be thieves unless you leave stuff on display

Tbh the lowlifes in rochdale will probably no what that light means on the door, just want something extra when someone nicks my parking space outside my girlfriends house i have to park on the next street. My theory is if i ran the feed from the door it would flash when my car is deadlocked?

Lot of hassle m8 and easy to disturb something in the door. Personally id wire one with a switch in took me 15 mins when I did mine

If you wire a flashing LED between permanent live and igntion swicthed live, it will flash whenever the ignition is off. That's how my dad has done it for the last 30 years (He's an auto electrician). It will ground itself through the ignition coil(s), and when you switch the ign on, there will be the same voltage at both sides of the LED so it won't light up.

Doesn't work on diesels though apparently as they have no ignition coils.
