#1: Hazard lights button Author: juanfernandes, Location: LondonPosted: Fri Jun 10, 2011 2:25 am ---- For those with the hazard lights and lock buttons on the centre console.
Anyone know if its easy to disable the red blinking light, the one that comes on when you lock the car?
I've had a search but nothing came up. I haven't had a proper look at the button yet, but thought I would ask before I break it

#3: Re: Hazard lights button Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2011 2:33 am ---- Its written in to the BSI software, you would need to look in the BSI configuration, you MIGHT find a setting to turn it off but I dont remember seeing one.
#4: Re: Hazard lights button Author: juanfernandes, Location: LondonPosted: Fri Jun 10, 2011 2:38 am ---- Thanks,
I want to replace it with a different one, in another location.
Should have made that bit clear.
#5: Re: Hazard lights button Author: juanfernandes, Location: LondonPosted: Fri Jun 10, 2011 2:41 am ---- Basically, I bought a gloss black centre console of someone who had an after market alarm fitted and they drilled a hole through the centre console to fit the alarms LED.
So since I dont have an after market alarm, but chose to buy the centre console anyway, I thought I would be able to rig up an led to the same connection as the one on the hazards button.

Thanks.
I'll have to have a closer look at how it's wire up - may buy a second hand one to play with.

Be careful messing with the wiring
It would be easier to just buy a console without a hole, paint it & use the original hazard button.
#9: Re: Hazard lights button Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Fri Jun 10, 2011 4:09 am ---- If you want a centre console I have a GTi graphite one.
#10: Re: Hazard lights button Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Fri Jun 10, 2011 4:30 am ---- If you just want a single hazard switch i've got one as i've changed to the double style switch (just need to get the auto lock activated on the BSI now)
Personally i would leave the hazard switch where it is as it's easy to get too in an emergency for both driver and passenger.

The auto lock feature is
You got rear wiper activation in reverse if the fronts are switched on?
Thats a handy BSI setting to tweak as well while PPS is connected

Going to look closely at it first. Was going to see if I could just remove the wire that lights up the light.
#14: Re: Hazard lights button Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Fri Jun 10, 2011 4:45 am ---- Not got the rear wiper activated. I want the auto lock as it seems a bit daft i can have stuff in the boot and any scroate can open the boot while i'm stopped at lights and then do a runner before I can get out the car.
I know I can lock the doors from the pin on the door, but it's a 3 door and a long way to get your arm back.
Might have to find someone local with PP or have a trip out to see Lee and get the BSI activated so I can make different changes. Quite fancy folding mirrors, but probably don't have the wiring there.
#15: Re: Hazard lights button Author: juanfernandes, Location: LondonPosted: Fri Jun 10, 2011 4:48 am ---- Yeah I dont want to lose any of the features.
I just didnt want to have too many flashing lights going on.
