you would need to rig up a realy off the central locking system.

i did one myself from maplins small circuit board that when the ignition was off it flashed when it was running it was off cost about a fiver to make was ok for a while ......this was a 3volt flashing led if you connect it to the central locking make sure the led is the same voltage as you will fry it as soon as you turn it on
