No way, the LED is so bright in my car the whole car lights up blue inside at night with every flash 
. It actually is probably too bright, bringing your eyes to look at the car if you are near it at night.
But it is satisfying to get a received beep on the pager if you are quite far from the car and are checking if its locked.

i have one of these and dont like it,wish i never bought it now.
the pager battery lasts about 4 weeks max,thats like 12 batteries a yr !!
the pager system is pants, i armed the car, then got the missus to open it up with my other key to set alarm off, i was about 200 metres away,did my pager go off, NOPE,yet if i stood next tot he car, it goes off, well no ****e, i can hear the alarm i dont need the fob to tell me also !!!
The features are good but dont know if u lot know, but ur settings are per fob not the alarm pack, so if u lt ur fobgo flat and dont change batteries within a minute or so, u loose the settings.
i have VRS,passive arming,forced passive arming on,the battery in my pager went flat, while i was changing over i took 5 mins as i was faffing about, then no forced arming etc,been back 4 times to get it all set again, now i just use the small fob as the battery is much better at lasting.

I have the 480XV with remote start on my car. Just waiting to upgrade the antenna to i can have the 500XV. The new colour remote is awesome. With Vipers you can just do so much as you have so many spare channels.
I have remote start, window closure so far. What do others have?

The US site doesn't list any of the new UK models as they have not been officially released yet. There is a new UK site due soon. The closest model the US have to our 500xv is the 7900 but that comes with remote start.
Viper - Security with Remote Start - Viper 7900
The details you will get on the UK installers sites is as good as you will get anywhere.
