    Just wonderin, the door open gizmo in the DIC tells u if the trunk, or which door is open right? Why doesn't any automaker (that I know of, I may be wrong) not have the info device tell u if the HOOD is open? I would think that would be nice info to have, all those people driving around with their hoods popped and don't even know, until someone tells them or until it flies open on the highway and smashes the windshield. IDK just a thought.

    Because if the hood flies open on someone, its a reminder that they're stupid.

    I worked on a 08 suburban and it tells you that the hood is popped.

    A decent amount of newer GMs tell you the hood is open.

    My STI tells me the hood is opened. It also won't arm the alarm until the hood is closed.

    My CL flashes a warning if the hood is open and you shift out of park.
