An input can be provided by a sensor, pinswitch or through an existing system in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights. LED: Blue light mounted somewhere in the vehicle.

It is used to override the alarm when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit Valet mode. Siren: Noise generating device usually installed in the engine compartment of the vehicle. It is responsible for generating the "chirps" you hear, as well as the six tones you hear while the alarm is triggered.
