Installing a Remote Central Locking system?

[vee-media]

Hi people! Im new here, just bought a 2002 MK4 Golf "S" in Black - absolutely love it! One big downside though is that it doesn't have Remote Central Locking! I have looked on eBay and have found the following:

It looks ok and I have only considered it as I haven't been able to find a OEM Golf Part. Anyone know if the above system would be OK with my Golf and anyone have any idea where about's I could pick up a possible OEM Remote Central Control kit?

Regards,
James.

Hi James,
I have just recieved this morning my remote central locking kit from rightclick2003, the exact same kit as you are thinking about buying. (fast delivery ordered it Monday)
I have a MK3 1998 Golf Estate.
The instructions that come with the kit are a little "universal" and not being too electronically minded would have liked more specific details. I have joined this forum to try and find out more info on fitting it.
As far as quallity goes the kit looks good and I would recommend it.
If I manage to install it ok I will let you know how good it really is.

Regards
Mike

Hi Mikon - thanks for your response! I am still very interested in the kit and would be delighted if you could inform me if it was a success or not when you have installed it!

Regards,
James.

Hi James,
My son who has fitted remote central locking and alarms before fitted my system today.
It took him approx 1 and half hours. I have a pheumatic central locking system, not sure if yours is the same. I was glad he knew what he was doing as it would have taken me a month of Sundays to fit!!
Once fitted and tested to work the key fobs were the next problem, I extracted the key out of my spare fob having to destroy the plastic part and then grind and drill the base to fit the new fob. This I done to save the cost of getting the blank keys supplied cut and drilled.
Main thing is it works and I am very pleased, so I would recommend it.
If your non electrically minded like me I would also recommend getting someone who is to help!

PS. If like mine yours has a "chip" in the old fobs they need to be put in the new fobs.

Regards
Mike

Hi Mike, thanks for your response! Have been having a few problems installing the kit - have got it to unlock but havent got it to lock yet! The instructions are very universal so I complained and they sent me a link to the following guide for my Golf:

The guide has awful english but it does make a little sense! Do you know which wires you needed to connect to what?

James.

Hi,

I have bought a remote central locking system from eBay, and was wondering if anyone could help me install it. I can't find the ground wire/connector in my 2002 1.4E Mk4 Golf, I think I might be ok with the other wires but don't know where to attach the ground wire......

Please can someone help me on this one.

I want to install the system tomorrow morning (Saturday) so would appreciate if there is anyone online who could reply.

Thanks all

Sorry to tread jack, but i am on the same wavelength.
I have just purchased a 2000 mk4 Golf 1.4 and it doesn't have cenral locking. Im not sure i can bare asking people "have you locked your door" everytime they get out :p


So, i want to hook up my new car with Remote Central locking :)
In your oppinions what would be the best kit to buy? Luckily I have a few people that would be willing to help me fit it.

Thanks in advance
