what are these??

I think the previous owner retrofitted an alarm system that sounds. Like a chinese toy gun! Could i get rid if it? The red led flashes on bumpy roads and it is sometimes annoying! I prefer the stock alarm or arent they standard? (I have a euro model) do i at least have an immobiliser?


Second question, the buttons for the exterior lighting ! Shouldnt they supposed to be illuminated?? I only have the center moving part that lights up and the lower side (when foglights are activated

Also, the litl storage compartment behing the transmission lever, shouldnt this slot be lit? (See pic)

As far as the illumination on the lights, I thought the same thing, but after looking at several others, they are not. Seems dumb!

The graphics on the light knob does not illuminate but the knob does. The cigarette light DOES illuminate and it only lights up when your headlamps are on. If yours does not light then the led on the 12v outlet is busted and you need to replace the entire assembly as it only comes as one part.
