how do they make the lights flash when the remote unlocks the car and locks it? Or is that even possible?

there is a thread that addresses the light flash confirmation. the keyless entry system has to have specific output for that function and i believe it is wired to the light switch. i am thinking of upgrading my jcwhitney $29 special to a version that chirps a confirmation because right now it doesn't give any indication other than sound of the vacuum pump and visual confirmation which can be somewhat inconvenient...

Keyless w/ flashing light

The rest of my collection of links on this topic:
JCWhitney

mercedesshop

bstreep procedure

relay tutorial

I am leaning more towards the chirp or horn ala Audi-VW. I don't wan to have to run wires through the interior yet again. I am planning on installing it all in the trunk where I already tapped into the vacuum system.

If anyone has recommendations on specifit units pleas post. I have seen K9 and Crimestopper systems for $40 on ebay.

Remote Start?

On a related topic, has any one put in a remote start on a dsl.
I/they tried but somehow couldn't get it to start the engine.
For remote entry try the viper product at circuit city. They do the work as well!

Can a normal electric system work on vacuum locks? I have an electric system which I bought this summer, and I would hate for it to go to waste.

there are newer systems that specifically says "diesel compatible". it's easy for them to program a wait after turn-on for the glow plugs...
