General What do I have to do to make central locking into remote?

[Gaz A Ducato]

Hi I'm new here. Just bought a ducato 53reg and it has 2 keys (both flip out type). It has central locking activated by turning the key. I just wondered if I got a new flip key which has remote buttons and I swapped the key bits over, would I have remote central locking? Or will I need additional parts?
What I mean to say is, do all ducato's have everything needed to be remote central locking and it's just the key that needs upgrading and programming. The reason I ask is because I've seen a key on ebay.

Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks

Gaz...go to nearest dealer & ask them to check the 'S.I.G.I' (sounds like 'seagee') as it will say if it is fitted or if a remote key is available to order for your chassis number,it wont cost.Chances are you van did originally come with a remote key as far as i'm aware (to be corrected) they all did?

Thanks for the reply, I'll do that ASAP. Would you buy one of those keys off ebay, or just stick with the dealer?

would need to be programmed by dealer either way.
