Any ideas what this could be?

Anyone have an idea what the green thing could be for? I've not noticed it flash or do anything other than look messy. I've looked through my cars folder and found alarm 7895 - 7897 manual but I'm pretty sure that's what the red ones for...

Any help greatly appreciated

That's aftermarket, have you tried picking it off?

This has been bugging me and realised why today. My red LED is where that green one is and I have nothing where your red one is. I always thought mine was in an awkward place being obscured by the gear stick. What do others have?

Mine is where yours is hoolio so I installed a auxiliary input on the other side to balance it out.

Red LED on the left for me as well!

I wonder if this is a throwback to it being designed as a LHD? Maybe, anyway it looks as though someone has just moved the original to where they can see it on Fiona's???????

All the alarms were fitted at the import centre in the uk,all done to a set fitting guide from renault uk nothing to do with being LHD its just more visible from the kerb if the car is parked at the side of the road ,added deterrent.

Alarms are not always required in every country so they are rarely factory fitted this is why all the LED should be in roughly the same place.

That makes sense, though still a pita to see if the alarm has gone off.

Well.. I took your advice and its not connected to anything! lol Wonder if it was just put in as some sort of deterrent.. So my plan is to put it back to standard.. Is it a pain to remove that part?

Well they probably did it to cover the original hole and if you move it back you will have the same problem unless you plan on replacing the whole gearstick surround.
