I have a 98 US spec Plus 8 and it has a contact switch on the drivers door, with the door open and the keys in the ignition a buzzer is activated to remind you the keys are still there.
Hope that helps.
BTW I don't have a map light or courtesy lights either.
My car was supplied by Cantab. It maybe a US requirement.
