A vehicle occupancy alarm assembly for alerting a driver of a vehicle that a child is seated in a rear seat of the vehicle, said assembly comprising:
- an alert unit having an input port being compatible with an on board diagnostic port thereby facilitating said alert unit to be placed in electrical communication with a computer system of the vehicle, said alert unit being actuatable into a first condition having said alert unit emitting an audible alert when said alert unit detects that a rear seat belt is coupled wherein said alert unit is configured to alert the driver of the vehicle that the child is buckled into the rear seat belt, said alert unit being actuatable into a second condition having said alert unit emitting the audible alert when said alert unit detects that a driver's side door is ajar wherein said alert unit is configured to alert the driver to check for the child in the rear seat, said alert unit being actuatable into a third condition having said alert unit emitting the audible alert when said alert unit detects that the vehicle's transmission has been placed in a parking gear wherein said alert unit is configured to alert the driver to check for the child in the rear seat;
- wherein said alert unit comprises a housing having a first end, a second end and an outer wall extending between said first end and said second end, said input port being recessed into said first end, said outer wall having a plurality of speaker slots each extending into an interior of said housing;
- wherein said alert unit includes a control circuit being positioned within said housing, said control circuit being electrically coupled to said input port such that said control circuit is in electrical communication with the computer system of the vehicle when said input port is plugged into the on board diagnostic port of the vehicle, said control circuit receiving a first alert input, said control circuit receiving a second alert input, said control circuit receiving a third alert input;
- wherein said control circuit receives said first alert input when the computer system communicates to said control circuit that the rear seat belt is coupled;
- wherein said control circuit receives said second alert input when the computer system communicates to said control circuit that the driver's side door is ajar;
- wherein said control circuit receives said third alert input when the computer system communicates to said control circuit that the vehicle's transmission has been placed in the parking gear;
- wherein said alert unit includes a speaker being positioned within said housing, said speaker being aligned with said plurality of speaker slots in said outer wall of said housing wherein said speaker is configured to emit the audible alerts outwardly through said plurality of speaker slots, said speaker being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said speaker being turned on when said control circuit receives any of said first alert input or said second alert input or said third alert input;
- wherein said alert unit includes a switch being movably integrated into said second end of said housing wherein said switch is configured to be manipulated by the driver of the vehicle, said switch being electrically coupled to said control circuit;
- wherein said switch is positionable in an off position thereby de-actuating said control circuit;
- wherein said switch is positionable in a seat belt position thereby facilitating said speaker to be turned on when said control circuit receives said first alert input;
- wherein said switch is positionable in a door lock position thereby facilitating said speaker to be turned on when said control circuit receives said second alert input;
- and
- wherein said switch is positionable in a stop position thereby facilitating said speaker to be turned on when said control circuit receives said third alert input.
