I can’t tell which one I prefer. But tbh, I think car alarms aren’t as much for theft deterrence as much as they are used to find your car in a dense parking lot. Nonetheless, any bit of attention to would be thieves slightly deters them.

Late to the party but my Model 3 has the same deal, almost identical EU alarm, but in the US it uses the horn for the alarm. Must be some EU regulation. :)

I feel like most cars in Europe use alarm sirens instead of horns. I’m not sure why
@that_one_pole177 ай бұрын
@@musicmoviesandgames2004 Because horn alarms are deemed too loud, that's why. If you ever hear a horn alarm, that will 100% be an import. But I'm not sure. But then the point for an alarm is to be loud.

Thanks. I'm planning to add A LOT of 12V lighting to my i3. My plan is to purchase a waterproof fused terminal block (motorcycle or boat) wired to a relay to one of the ambient power source. AKA the LED powered cig socket which is powered during lock/unlock/running.

Those front side lights are inside the headlight assembly and are controlled by the Canbus. Did you think my first idea was to go all the way to the back? It won't work the way you have described, trust me I've tried. Also not illegal as long as it's not blue or red LED. Many cars (Mercedes, Lincoln, VW...etc) come with illuminated front emblems from the factory...
