Why would you want it to be brighter? The alarm does next to nothing anyway.... last I recall, someone can throw rocks through all of your windows and shatter them, reach in and steal everything out of your glovebox and cabin area and even vandalize the interior as there are no motion sensors, glass break sensors, etc. As long as they don't open the door... nothing goes off.

He is most likely correct, but I don't leave anything in my car worth anything ex. the car itself...so I was wondering if there was a way to make the led brighter or to replace it with a brighter one.

Just don't leave anything of value visible anywhere in the car and you shouldn't have any problems. Thats what gloveboxes and trunks are for ;-)...

...but then again, knowing these cars, it'll probably throw a warning if it draws too little or too much power if you tap into it. They tend to monitor everything.

You may be able to "tap" into that blinking light to power other LEDs... or re-located the blinking light to all four doors or something Audi-like? I used to have a little "kit night rider"-type of bar that went back and forth whenever the car was armed on the top of the windshield... loved it :-).

When I bring it in for the 1000 mile check up I will ask the tech's there if there is anything they can do to brighten it up.

Interior motion sensor A visual and audible alarm is triggered if your vehicle is locked and a movement is detected in the vehicle interior, e.g. if someone breaks your vehicle's side windows or reaches into the vehicle interior.
Looks like there is one...

Since I will only receive my C300 4matic 2009 in August I can't tell for sure...
But I've found an owners manual at the following address:

Hello,
also I have an issue about the alarm led:
where can I place it?
There is a prefixed position?
Where is mounted on in genuine mercedes-benz alarm system(if exist)?
Can you post some pics?
Many thanks
