Remote Central Locking Installation Guide

[jonboyuk]

Blimey GamesB! That's crazy! You must be paid far too much Good luck though mate.

Jacko - told you it was easy eh! I wonder how Arcalius is getting on? Well done though mate. As for the indicators - not too sure, as with Arcalius just check the splicing connection. Mine were a bit dodgy at first so crimped them again and was okay. The deadlock red light works on my Fabia, so no different from the Octavia - not sure why however :-/ Sorry.

[GamezBond]

Jacko,
Does the red light work when you lock the car using the original control still?
just wondering if something went wrong when and if youopened the door or other connections etc.
good luck mate.

[jacko203]

No, the red light doesn't flash with the key either, but it is deadlocked - as in I can't open doors from the inside when it is locked. I'll check the connections of all the wires in the white plug in the door loom as I dismantled it to get the other wire in.

Besides, my car has just failed its MOT so I've got more important things to worry about!

[GamezBond]

Oh, sorry to hear that mate.
I know a good MOT place that only charges if they pass the car, as long as the car is under 10 years old, which yours should be. So i think that its in their interest to not fuss about the unnecessary checks. i have taken my car and motorbike to many different garages and they all seem to have different set of "requirements". for example, one garage failed the MOT cos apparently the brake pads were worn more than the limit ( i thought they were fine). Then another MOT garage told me that the requirement is to check the performance of the breaking system, and leaks etc, but not the actual pads!!

Anyway, I havent gone anywhere else since I found this garage about3/4 years ago. It is Catford, London. Let me know if I can help and if you need the garage address etc.

hope you get it sorted.

Thanks Its just a future plan, more like a dream..lol. not sure if I will ever get around to doing it or not but first comes a dream, then comes a plan

Oh BTW, I got my car back today. the LPG conversion is completed. So far the car is working exactly as before apart from the ticking sound from the gas injectors. I dont feel any loss of power. Not a noticeable drop in the consumption either, and the consumption still displays on the computer like before cos the new LPG ECU is linked to the main ECU and the car still thinks its working on petrol. So the sensors still report like before and the air/fuel supply and demand is managed just like before, mainly by the car ECU.
The only thing to complain about is the size of the gas tank, which is only 50 litres
But I guess its still not too bad. I will make my money back in less than one year I think. so quite pleased with it so far.

I just fitted one of the rightclick remotes and fitted the whole lot in the rear side panel of an octavia estate. Car already had central locking but no remote and was a simple job to fit, piggy backed off the rear power socket and all the wiring bar one indicator was easily accessible without removing any panels.

[jonboyuk]

nice one - that's a good way to do it!

[jonboyuk]

Just to say thanks to GamezBond for the informatoin regarding the window closer. I did it today and it worked perfectly. Thanks buddy!

[GamezBond]

No worries JonBoy. I am glad you got it sorted. I only started doing mine after the information I got from your posts so many thanks to you too m8
The issue I find now is that when a heavy vehicle goes past, the shock sensor goes off while parked on my drive, even though its at its minimum setting.
But its not so sensitive when I slightly hit the car windows etc. Do you think its cos I have placed the shock sensor wrongly? do you have a recommendation for the location of the shock sensor pls ? (It is corrently strapped to the steering shaft)

[jonboyuk]

Gamez, I actually only installed central locking but no alarm! Personally I would have put the sensor more central in the car! But that's just me. I think it would help balance things out a little? I dunno..try some different locations.

[GamezBond]

Ok Thanks, I will try some different locations.

Have a question regarding windows auto up. I installed a remote central locking, working fine. I have connected the green wire to the door wire. When I lock the car, the windows auto up. When I unlock the door, windows go down to about half size, and I can only control them if I first lock my car. Othewise, the buttons for windows control don't work. WTH?

[GamezBond]

Personally I didnt want the windows going down when I unlock the car. I only wanted to shut them in case I or another passenger forgot to close their window fully. is there an option for you to only close them and disconnect the opening wire? I think half the size is only cause by the timer on your alarm that its supplying the signal on the open wire for a limited time only, which is only long enough for the windows to go down half way. You could possibly check this with a volt meter. Which alarm is it brand and model name please? and also are the installation instructions online at all? or can you scan and email them to me so I can have a ook at what configurable options you may have on the timers etc.

that would be great...it's something like giordon v686tr. The manufacturer has a web site, but I don't think there are any manuals online, so will scan them tonight and send it to you. I did find out the windows open/close if I set the jumper for automaticaly rearming the alarm to off, otherwise, the windows neither open or close.
Thank you in advance

edit:

found this, it seems to be exactly like mine

If you are asking for the wire that you should connect to control unit of alarm to let it know when a door is open I think the cable is brown with orange on the brown connector

thanks jonboyuk for the picture

that is for fabia.

I'm not 100% sure for that info, but when the red light in door trim illuminates i get "-" there, and that is the signal desired from my alarm to know that the door is opened. Soon I'll try it and let you know. My alarm control unit is dead so I'm waiting for a new one. I didn't mentioned that my alarm is sending "+" signals to the indicator lights, so when I connected the cables to the indicator light cables and turned hazards on and panic on my alarm... a white smoke came out and I smelled "electricity" Now my alarm is signaling with the dimension lights, it's not bad

i did try the brown/orange wire, but nothing happened. But thank you anyway, if you do find out, please let me know.

[harro]

In my case the alarm unit expects ground signal to know if a door is opened. On the Brown/Orange wire is coming ground signal when the door is opened so the red light can be turned on. The only problem with that wire (for me) is that it works only with front doors, but it is enough for me. Soon maybe I'll have time to observe for better place to connect to.

Mine alarm also requiers ground signal, but the problem is I don't have lights in my doors, so maybe that's why it's not working. People say I should connect it to door micro switch, but I have no idea where to connect

oh, and my car doesn't have a warning for open doors (no light on the display if doors are not properly closed), so maybe I can't have this option.

btw, I did notice an orange wire which should autolock the car when i press the brake pedal and unlock when I turn the car off. Anyone has any clue about this?

What about the interior light, does that have an apropriate signal going to it from the door switch?
Door micro switch is usually near the centre piller, and may have a rubber cover on it. You can test it by pressing it in to see if the interior light goes off etc. The wires will be just behind that switch, and you may have to take off the plastic interior covers beside the drivers seat to get to the switch.

well, thank you, but now I have another silly question. what is the centre piller? sorry, i'm from slovenia, so have no idea what to look for. I think the micro switch in inside the door? So I must take the whole panel down, look for rubber cover, behind it should be the micro switch? And I guess every door has one?
