HOW TO GUIDE: Aftermarket Remote Central Locking

[rd27]

Fitted my kit today, only took around half an hour and i'm a novice especially when it comes to electrics. It didn't work at first so I just touched random wires together once I had power to the new module and figured it out that way. On the kit that was listed, which I bought, connect your live and negative to 1 and 2 and the it's the yellow & yellow/black to wire 7 and white & white/black to wire 5 iirc, if not just swap them round as you'll have it locking on the unlock button like I did at first.

ok, so to recap rd, you bought the same item as in Jays link and joined the white to the white and black wire before connecting to wire 5 and you joined theyellow to the yellow and black wire before connecting to wire 7.
its just the instructions I got with mine say differently but its the same kit

Yeah, i've just been out to check, yellow and yellow & black to 7 and white and white & black to 5.
My kit is the same as the one posted, cost just over £8 from China

Cool will do mine this weekend,the instructions I got for negative wotsit said about earthing two of the wires and using white to open and white and black to close

[rd27]

Not sure mate, if you solder your live and negative on first, once the new box is clicking you know you've got power then just trial run the other wires, try the way from your instructions and my way and see which works for you. Will be interesting if you wire yours differently though.

[Mickey taker]

Nah I'm going to do it your way but out of interest I will scan the instructions and put them on here

[Mickey taker]

All done and working fine

[rd27]

Which way did you wire it out of interest?

[Mickey taker]

Same way you did,much prefer to use a proven method than some dodgy instructions

[rd27]

Excellent, glad to hear you got it sorted.

[Mickey taker]

This is probably only relevant to rd27, I have only just found out by accident that using your method of wiring means it dosent matter which button you press,if the doors are locked either button will unlock them and if they are unlocked either button will lock them.
This suits me fine especially at night because the remote isn't back lit and its really hard to see the inscriptions on the buttons

[rd27]

Oh excellent, hadn't noticed myself, I use the light from my phone to illuminate the buttons.

I am going to try and instal one of these up in the plip sensor area and hope that I will get better rf range from the higher position. Although the one I have flashes the indicators as well so perhaps somewhere else would be a bit easier.

My one works from about 30 foot away from the car
