might have to wait till the w.e though to try it lol once get in from school gets too dark too quick to be fitting a remote central locking kit lol
very very last thing i ask lol as everyones been great answering is ..
how did yoo get your constant power source ?
i know you said from the radio but how exactly? as im already using the power for the radio to power the radio lol well my sony headunit *
reeely sorry if gettin annoyin just havnt done anything car related before lol and done want to mess it up and end up loosing the power for my radio lol
oh yeh and good luck for your test on wed m8
instructors dont tend to like males at all lol
first time i done mine the guy i got was not very nice lol done everything fine and then he tries to say i was going tooo slow comming off the bypass in the sliproad when i was doin about 35 changing into the right hand lane to go round the round about and the slip road is a 40 anyway lol
lol, thanks, i better pass i work 46miles away so 100miles a day driving to work
anyway ... constant power is directly from battery so it is always powered (interior lights, hazard lights, radio etc), radios have 2 power sources... ignition to turn it off and on when engine goes on/off and one directly to the battery to save the memory such as radio stations etc.
have you managed to do it though so you still have a constant power for your radio so it will still have your presets and time set or you not too bothered about that?
sorry again just dont want to mess anything up ..
and dissconecting the battery while doing this is a must?
thnks
getting the idea now lol sorry for all the questions must be hating me by now lol
i deff defff deffff have to do mines at the w.e cannot wait to have remote central locking easily beats having to wait for your passengers to get out and then push down lock on the other dooor and in my case most time got a full car of my m8s so takes a min or two for them all to get out lol
wherabouts do you put the earthing point btw ? just noticed tht when looking at the cables there
Not a problem, im just delaying the time i goto bed ... as the sooner i get to bed the sooner ive got work, although im getting a pay rise tomorrow
and yes i know what u mean about the locks, i played with mine for 30mins and love it lol ... except when i use the key on the drivers side it doesnt do nething to the passenger side, but why would i need to use the key ive got a remote lol
alright for some lol i need to get a job so can save up for new stuff for my car first things going to be new bumpers or alloys ..
your way of wiring it up and powering it seems alot easier than other ways been told ..
usually get told to wire into the fusebox so can have your lights flash when press the remote
does your lights flash when you press the remote?
but looking at cables ive got dont think the kit i have would allow such a thing as all the cables will be gettin used by the motors and then that single red for the power and then just a black for the earthing point
you can get a constant from the Fusebox inside the car, its the thick red and white wire on the fusebox, just peal back a little bit of the insulation in that wire and add in the wire you have from the central locking, then make sure to tape it up good.,
i have a questin about what shape the metal rod should be bent if my actuator is in the same position as in the guide. oh and also does your rod go behind the black thing brophy was talking about(bit that supports the handle cable) or did you put it between it and the door?(the small gap) im asking as i have bent mine a certain way and whenever i lock the doors they unlock again automatically afterwards.

I didnt bend mine at all (except like 1cm at the end near the lock near the window)

Small Gap

Could be your cabling, although if you dont have the right tension on the rod i guess it would open itself
i reeely need to get mines sorted
was gona do it the day after i had finished wiring up my cd changer ..
but no its heavy rain outside lol so hopefully 2morrows dry
also how did you get on , on wed ? if dont mind me askin lol
ahh hopefully 2morows dry for me up in west of Scotland lol
unlucky m8, wouldve been a really good sheet apart from that
when i was wiring up my cd changer and powering it i was glad to find there was a spare adaptor on the yellow for it lol
this was on a pioneer headunit adaptor
* so a wee note to anyone doing central locking and doesnt have a cd changer and looking for a easy solution for their contant power source
