Best Remote Locking / Keyless Entry Kit for MK2 Punto (2000) around £30?

[robin91]

I've got a W Reg (2000) Mk2 Punto 1.2 ELX 5 Door - currently has electric front windows and central locking. I now want to add a remote locking kit so that locking/unlocking the car is easier, quicker and more convenient.

What is the best remote locking kit for my car, ideally around ~£30? I don't want to go for a kit which isn't going to be safe/secure (i.e. other remotes could possibly open it). Is there a 'better' kit out there that people reccomend?

Any help appreciated!

Right, might take a while to get one, but they pop up ocassionally, a propper Fiat remote central locking kit for your age punto which is basically a relay with two remotes. The relay goes into fuse box, wham bam thankyou mam, job done

Were £70 new, I know there was one in the classifieds a while back.

Really, that easy and straight forward? If so, sounds rather good! Any benefit in terms of use/features etc over an aftermarket kit? Also, what is the remote like? Just a fiat tag that clips onto the key chain?

Cheers!

Remotes look like on this add, the kit I recomended is for the mk1 Punto, so my mistake there.

Advantage of the above is it should be easier to fit and is designed for the exact job in YOUR car

 

[robin91]

Apart from an easier instalattion, and a standard looking remote, are there any other benefits to a proper fiat remote locking kit? As I don't want to spend £70 on a new one, and finding one second hand seems like it's going to be very difficult. Is there a particular aftermarket kit people reccomend? I've been looking at 'Right click' which looks quite good, anyone rate them? Or are there better options for around the £30 mark?

Hawk.

Search on eBay 'Hawk Alarm' and look at their other items. I've used their alarms and incorperated the RCL.

And I've collected all my items from their shop/factory in South London, and they're very friendly

 

[robin91]

Just had a look at HAWK, and spotted this:

Anyone know if that would do the job? Looks spot on, seems similar to the fiat one (Just wire up to fuse box and voila?) Might take longer to install than the official fiat one, but given its only £20 it'd be ideal if it'll work properly.

Cheers

Firstly we need to know what car you've got

And secondly you'll need to to a bit of work for yourself / investigation etc, as my speciality is Classic Panda's, but I'll certainly try to help if you get stuck.

[Grantlyn]
