Hi All,
I have recently bought another E320 Avantgarde 1997. When I arm the alarm the red light on the mirror flashes as does the one in my brothers E320 Elegance 1996. After it has locked the doors the red light on the rear view mirror does not flash to indicate that the alarm is armed, unlike the other car which flashes periodically. Could this be a fault or something as i am stuck with this one. The manual was not much help at all...

Cheers Stav

 

ok for starters the red light on your rear view mirror only flashes when you lock the car period end of story..............
if your brother has a light on his rear view mirror that flashes perodically then his car is the one with problems not yours

 

Thats funny cos the dealer told me something else, and i got this reply from another forum :-

"Alarm red light should flash periodically after arming, either the LED has blown, or the LED may have moved away from the red bit, might have to open the mirror up and see ! if your not confident then any indi or dealer should be able to do it for you."

I'm totally confused now !
