central locking kits for mk2's
« on: 29 August 2010, 16:45 »
anyone bought an ebay c/l kit to work with a toad alarm. not sure what to buy, they all seem to be ones that come with their own crappy key fobs, can i wire them up to the toad and bin the sh!tty fobs? not even fussed bout it doing both doors, just mine will be fine.... any ideas?

ive got one of ebay and would be interested. If you put an alarm would you have to use both key locks

Ive recently put a cheaper version of this in my golf, works perfectly but I kinda fancy this anyway cause of the key/fob, and separate boot button.

Wasn't this asked a couple of days ago?

Most c/l kits have a 2 wire connection for close/open that is pretty much universal as far as hooking up to alarm systems go

haribo: most of the aftermarket cl kits use the same plug on the brain, so you could get the rclick kit and just swap the brain over to upgrade to the rclick fobs :)
did this on my mk2 first to convert it to remote cl, then again when i bought the rclick kit. the wiring and cl motors were all left alone

ah good, I was hoping I could do that, although in the description it said something about silent operation, any idea if this means the motors are slower and less violent than the cheaper ones?  if thats the case then im swapping out the motors too, I can still keep the cables :D

ah ok, well il investigate.

I may have to swap the wiring over anyway tho cause of an auxiliary wire or something for the separate boot unlock button?  or something like that.
