What with the existing Meta unit?

The Meta M20 was fitted as an extra to mk1 puntos at a cost of £70, i've been looking on the internet and it doesnt look like you can add this feature. Looks like you might have to upgrade to an alarm, the mk1 punto alarms use the indicators.

Re: bleeping and flashing indicators remote locking???

i dont really like the look of that, that extending ariel looks really wierd lol, thanks for your help, il keep looking but i ideally want an add on part onto the meta system, and it remote looks quite smart because it is the same colour as the car key.

Re: bleeping and flashing indicators remote locking???

I dont like this idea:
I sometimes forget the lock the doors when driving by myself, will this kit do it automatically for me?
Yes, if you already have central locking this kit will intelligently lock the doors 15 seconds after you switch the engine on and press the brake pedal. The doors will also automatically unlock after you turn off your engine.

I cant see why that would need to be done, and what if you want to get out of the car and leave the engine running? will it lock you out?

yeah i think it will, lol, you'd start the engine, get out to check engine or something and it locks you out and why do you need to lock the doors while driving?

Re: bleeping and flashing indicators remote locking???

the autolocking is an anti-hijack feature. they shouldn't lock you out. as the alarm will know the door has been opened and so not autolock.

Re: bleeping and flashing indicators remote locking???

Proper anti-hijack should only lock the car once you're have gone above xmph then of course if you get out, you unlock the door anyway. I guess cheapo ones don't work like that.

Re: bleeping and flashing indicators remote locking???

mine locks after 15 seconds of the ignition coming on, assuming a door isnt opened in that time. on a car without a digital speedo (so no VSS) its a wee bit difficult to make it lock at X mph

Re: bleeping and flashing indicators remote locking???

Loads of cars with analogue dials for speed have it, well, every Renault since about 98 at least.Edit: I kind of know what you mean though, you mean retro fitting it right? In which case I get you

No idea what VSS is

Re: bleeping and flashing indicators remote locking???

All modern vehicles have a VSS sensor (Vehicle Speed Sensor) attached to the transmission or an axle that generates a speed signal. This signal is used by the speedometer, cruise control, and some of the engine and transmission computers

cinqs dont have them. mk1 seis dont. mk2 seis do have them. we're talking retro fitting to a punto mk1. i'm assuming it doesnt have one as its of similar age to my car. i could well be wrong though.
