Thanks for all of the very helpful replies. Ghia-X - Its good to find someone that has done this already. Do you know what colour the wires are that I would need from the fuse box or where I can find this info? I did look at putting it there originally but it was difficult to get in to and there was very little slack on the wires to check things properly. I wanted to be sure that was the correct place before I did anything. I read on one of the posts that someone removed the fusebox to allow better access, I think that was on a mk11 though and I wasn't sure if you could also remove it on a mk1, do you know? Many thanks.

Hi, I don't know whether anyone can help me out, I've recently acquired a V Reg, 99' Galaxy LX 1.9 TDI one of the annoyances I have found so far is the lack of remote central locking. So I have brought an aftermarket universal remote central locking unit a Hawk HA-008. I've tried, unsuccessfully, to fit it today and could do with a little help. I wondered if anyone on here has done this before and where they located the unit. I only have a little experience in car electrics and would like to know exactly what I am doing before I attempt it again. I saw a previous posting from someone with a mkii who said that they put theirs under the passenger seat. I tried this but could not find any wires to tap into, except those running underneath the door and I didn't want to disturb these until I knew they were the right ones. Another old posting suggested taking the wires from behind the fuse box, I tried this as well but I couldn't get to them and I couldn't get the fusebox to come out as described in the other post. Having looked in the manual Manual this suggests that I need the following wires: Main power input from constant power wire min 15Amp +12V from the ignition, powered only when the ignition is on. Ground 2 wires from the existing central locking. Any help or constructive suggestions that anyone could give me would be greatfully received. Many thanks
