A vehicle security system includes a first housing for positioning adjacent the front windshield area of the vehicle, and an antenna carried by the first housing for receiving signals from the at least one remote transmitter. The security system also includes a security controller positioned in spaced apart relation from the first housing and being operatively connected to the antenna to be responsive to signals from the remote transmitter. Moreover, an indicator is preferably carried by the first housing, and is driven by the security controller for a number of significant purposes. In one embodiment of the invention, the indicator is preferably an alphanumeric indicator. The indicator may be used to display a number of remote transmitters capable of operating the security controller. The system may also include a coded override feature for switching to the disarmed mode from the armed mode responsive to operation of the control switch in a predetermined pattern based upon a plurality of user override codes. Accordingly, the controller may also display the number of such codes. The indicator may be driven to indicate a mode of the security controller or a status of a vehicle sensor.
