Strangely, although it mentions the light in the overhead console, it does'nt show it in the picture. Hope your not to dissapointed in not having an ejector seat!

I had a power problem with my LiftMaster and every time it went out, I had to re-do the Homelink, so I know that thing intimately...

Re: Anybody else have these in their XF
Hi,
All I can say is that I have set my cars Homelink to my Novoferm door and the little red light flashed as described in the handbook to confirm the link. Perhaps the European cars were equipped differently? What indications do you have on American spec vehicles to confirm the link is established?

To qualify what I'm saying, look at the original post of the suspect Red light.
Right behind it are the three (3) Buttons for the Homelink console, and the Blinking Red light to configure and setup Homelink is located under those 3 Buttons. Also the Homelink light is very, very small, and practically sits flush with the underside of the unit (almost looks like a flush mounted LED).
Again, that big Red thing in the picture, is NOT the Homelink light.
My Roadster is US based, and I'm not sure what they built for other areas of the world...

Re: Anybody else have these in their XF
Kodebuster,
I stand corrected, you are right, I was getting the two lights confused.
The red button shown in the picture is a UK only install to comply with Thatcham cat1 alarm systems. Please see post below from the UK forum.
Mystry of the Red Button, Solved! - 08-01-2008 , 01:18 PM
Hi again all,
I just got of the phone to chrysler UK and they've explained the red button in the roof to me. Documentation was lacking as its a UK specific install. To comply with Thatcham CAT 1 alarm systems you need to be able to disarm the internal motion sensors while keeping all the others active.
Usage: Stop your engine, press the red button, your motion sensors are now deactivated. To re-enable them simply start the engine.
Unfortunately its nothing as interesting as a cloaking device, cup holder quick release / warmer, ejector seat as previously suggested but there you go at least we all now know.
(Special thanks to Pauline at Chrysler UK customer care for sorting this one out for me.)
Cheers all,
Jamie
