If you think the lack of a rear dome light is annoying, wait until you have to take the keys out of the ignition to open the rear door five or six times! The fix for this is a fix for BOTH problems... get Tone's rear door popper kit (see http://tonemonday.com). A LOT of the people on this board have gotten and installed it - it is almost a required mod for the VX.
Benefits:
- gives you a push-button switch for the dash or center console that will pop open the rear door
- wires the rear door into the alarm system (no, it is not connected to the alarm system normally)
- makes the dome light turn on when the rear door is opened
These are really surprisingly bad shortcomings of the stock VX design, but they are easily fixed with the door popper kit. You could collect all of the parts yourself for cheaper than the $130 Tone is charging, but his kit is complete and it works.
Good luck, and welcome to the family!
