I would have said electric, but can you lock the fuel cap and boot with it?
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I always thought OEM was the way forward  :grin:

electric sounds easier to me, especially as I want to fit a Cat 1 alarm to it in the not to distant future too..

Fitting oem is easier as you can just take it out of a gti with it already and then convert it to remote locking. Plus you get boot and filler cap.
