Guest galaxy99 Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 hi thanx for your reply, i know what you mean see what us southern softies have to put up with. but i will contact toad and see if the can do it at
NikpV Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 the remote shouldn't operate the global closing anyway (safety interlock on windows is disabled) for safety reasons
Guest galaxy99 Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 thanks nik my old rover 800 had global closing on remote it had the safety bit aswell (when the remote was working of course) used be able to shut all 4 windows and sunroof, but don't have that anymore!!! glad i;ve got Forever On Repairing Daily..... :rolleyes:
NikpV Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 safety interlock is operational when shutting windows from inside the car, it is overidden if you try and close them 3 times, from outside the car it is always overidden. ps I am pretty sure you can enable remote global closing using vag-com - hearsay however
Justice Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 You can buy an after market kit to make it remote, I have a 96 Sharan that has locking and global but only on the key,I brought a kit for
NikpV Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 I'd rather not risk my kiddies fingers by accidentally operating the global closing whilst the remote is in my pocket :rolleyes: :unsure:
morticiaskeeper Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 I fitted the Cobra 1046 system myself, with a bit of email help from Alarmman.
Guest galaxy99 Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 thanks for all your advice guys i will do some more shopping around for the right kit.
Rob S Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 galaxy99, did you find a kit for your Gal?I'm thinking about the Cobra 1046 as morticiaskeeper fitted, but if you have found a better one I could be interested!Rob S
Guest galaxy99 Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 i have decided to go for an alarm as well wich would be cost effective and would be able to use my global closure i have been qouted
NikpV Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 It would help if you could tell us what model/year/trim car you have - best put in your signature line then you can forget it :lol:
Guest galaxy99 Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 o.k nik it's a 99 mk1 galaxy zetec 2.3 auto
NikpV Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 probably not on your age of galaxy - if fitted ultrasonic volume alarms are on the top of the B-pillars cant see it has anything to do with central/remote locking either - see diagram (actually a sharan - but is the same) besides zetec did not have remote cl as standard, prior to '98 gals were fitted with IrD remotes with sensors near rear veiw mirror but yours is too modern Possibly something to do with heated front screen which divided into two - how heavy duty was it ??
Guest galaxy99 Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 hi nik the metal strip /printed circuit is quiet thin and yes could be heated screen come to think about it, oh well i was getting my hopes up. thanks anyway. :(

NikpV Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 yes, I think this is a hold over from the previous versions of IrD remote where the sensor was in a little dome near the mirror - just stayed inthe instructions

Guest 3.5bullet Posted July 14, 2006 Report Posted July 14, 2006 i believe Justice is refering to a kit similer to this one? https://sslrelay.com/s74326199.oneandonesho...ndex.shopscript this shop used to do one specifically for the Sharan, but no longer appear to ;) you could try your local VW dealer parts counter and see if the kit is still available? iirc? the part number on my invoice was 7mo 054 660 A not quite sure on the last few digits as the invoice is a bit tatty!
