stealth camping mode - disable horn, CDL flashing
Two small and easy modifications to make camping with the Landy a less embarrassing experience Embarassed

1. I keep accidentially pressing the horn button whilst rummaging around on the (LHD) driver's side. So I installed a switch that disables the horn button on the stalk (only). Easiest and reversible way I found was to (mis)use a fuse tap off. Instead of the second fuse I inserted spade connectors wired to the switch.

2. There are situations where I don't want the indicators to flash with un/locking the doors. I inserted a switch into the indicator power supply to the ALM. Due to the limited space and stiff wiring loom of the ALM I found it difficult to crimp in wires for a switch. I went for Wago clamps instead. Others have good long time experience with them, so I keep fingers crossed.

Good job Thumbs Up It does make stealth camping a little challenging when the indicators are capable of lighting up half a hillside Rolling with laughter

The indicator flash is really easy to turn off (or reconfigure) simply by changing a setting in the 10AS if you have a diagnostic tool.

Yes. I don't want to have it permanently off. Just now and then.
