You might be right.
First of all, I've never seen one with a panic button. Now since an alarm is an option, not everybody is keen to buy one, especially for an extra 5-600 euros. 60% of the cars in Belgium are leased cars (company cars), so if they get stolen, who cares,. I mean I wouldn't. I would be mad for the personal stuff in the car that I lose, like sunglasses, SD-cards....
And second, I even think it's illegal to be able to activate your alarm from a distance. Some might use it to freak out other people when they come to close to their car ;-)

It’s the indicator for the regular built in alarm. It’s the same alarm that starts beeping when you are sitting inside your locked car and open the door without unlocking it with the key. In other words, it’s the alarm for cases like if someone breaks your window and tries to open the door by pulling the door opening lever awarding people in surrounding.

If you want to test your alarm, lock your car while you are still inside (make sure the car is completely turned off) and wait a minute or so. Once the red LED begins to blink try moving around a bit. This has triggered my alarm in the past, I'm guessing the vehicle detects motion inside the cabin whenever the vehicle is completely locked and shut off.

Hey guys,
Is there anybody who can tell me the function of the red LED on the door on the drivers side (close to the mirror)?
It starts blinking when I lock the door. So at first I thought it was the alarm. But now I found out there is no alarm installed in my car... So why the LED?
And the fact that I don't have an alarm is probably also the reason why I cannot make my car beep (once or twice) when locking or unlocking the car, because that feature simply uses the horn of the alarm.
So, again, what purpose does this LED have?
Thx,
JST
