Remote Locking,

Postby FiestaBen on Wed Jul 15, 2009 1:18 pm

Oki, probably been asked a million times before so sorry if it has but ...

How easy is it to fit to a mk3.5 with central locking? I asked someone on ebay a while ago and they said it can't be done because the type of locks the mk3/mk3.5 use but... a few on here have it so it must be possible! right?

Also what if the car doesn't have central locking?

mine is a mk3 and i connected the central locking with no probs at all very easy to install. took me about 2 hours. the most annoying part is to pass the wires through the door

afaik the mk3.5 ones are the same as the mk3

Ben, you have to have the locking wiring and motors from a MK3/MK3.5 fiesta. The universal kits on eBay do not work. To get it remote you will have to have a trigger box and fob, but I'd be inclined to spec up a cheap Toad alarm and that will trigger the lock/unlock of the doors anyway.
