Auto hold active light

Here's my relatively new to me 2012 CFFB Highline TDI, AKÁ The Panther. I was doing some tight maneuvers in someone's driveway at the weekend and managed to scrape up a rear quarter, just the plastic thankfully, on a concrete gatepost. I live rurally and I've been driving estate for years. What happened? Auto-hold didn't do it's job as a I changed gear. I drifted back and crunch. Never would have happened if I had a proper handbrake.

Has anyone managed to add a light to the dash which shows clearly when auto-hold is engaged? It's not a huge amount of use knowing it's on! This isn't the only time it's failed to switch on, but the first time it's been an issue. TIA!
