I have a 2000 S, and I think they all came with it. If they didn't, I'm sure mine wouldn't, as I have very few options. I don't even have the little courtesy lights in the doors.

I am to where I always disable the motion sensor after an incident where I locked the car and left it somewhere, and a suction cup mount I had on the windshield fell off and triggered the motion sensor...

And I just read this interesting bit in the Bentley, under new features for 2002 Model year:

So possibly my workaround only works up through 2001?
