VR6 Remote Central Locking?

**stabbsy** · 14-06-2012, 05:00 PM

Just wondering if anyone here has put remote central locking in their VR6, as I am thinking of doing it as a bit of a holiday project. Because it already has regs to actuate the locking through every door and it is just key activated rather than remote it shouldnt be too hard to do, just wondering if it is actually possible to tap into the existing system and if so what did you guys use?

I used a momentary 2 channel 333mhz remote and receiver off eBay. Was $8 to my door and it took me 30mins to install.

I can give you a link and draw you a pretty diagram if you want.

If stabbsy doesn't want it, I'd be happy to see it

Or the link atleast, I could probably figure out the wiring.

The locks in my cl only open all doors if I use it on the driver side, although I guess thats just where you would tap in. Does anyone know if CL's are meant to have central locking from both doors and mines just defective, or is that how they came from factory? Neither would surprise me. Haha

My 2dr cl is the same, it only unlocks via the drivers door.

It's so easy in the MK3 golf, as the locks are controlled by the air pump in the boot. No need to trace wires, just hook it all up to the pump in the boot. 20-30mins and your done, a bit longer if you want indicators to flash, as you may need to wire in diodes to each side indicator, otherwise they all flash when turning.
