ALARM MAN

Defo check loom from car to door you will find wire in there split and sometimes makes contact other times no Big common fault on all VW's Galaxys and Alhambras Ian

I've got a mk1 so I assume that some tweaking might be needed. The Toad from what I have read uses two wires to lock and unlock - which the Galaxy can do - but the alarm has the extra 3 wire switch on the lock which I assume checking the diagram needs to be triggered when the locks lock/unlock which I guess means using a relay or two to trigger the "alarm" pulse when un/locking the doors? I know that the RK30 seems to be the option for mk1's but I wonder what your input on this is ? Steve Set the RK30 for positive locking and connect to the cdl box under passenger seat and test from there to see if it will arm and disarm alarm I have never done a MK1 with alarm but im sure if it had alarm it will have had remote as well Ian

I've been looking at the RK30 kit, did you get this to set the alarm as well or just lock and unlock the doors? Steve If you have factory alarm and it is the mk2 model then yes it can i have fitted a Sigma to my wifes car And am a Main Toad Dealer but wanted extra security but both are great names in security Ian

Ok can someone help me out on Here Blue traced wire i beleive this is Alternator What is Red traced wire ? Regards Ian

Ok Finally no thanks to Ford for this I was doing a job at my local garage and he brought a Scoda in for a cambelt change It was a top model leather etc but guess what had the same sat nav unit fitted with cd changer Pulled car apart boot mounted changer Part no VW 1J6 035 111 at last sortd from Fleabay loads around I have sourced a lead from Fleabay so i will have to run new cable to boot and replace old Ford cable Is blue mini iso plug to VW plug this is the reason Ford could not do it Sat nav was VW Based and hastely slung into Ford as an option but made Changers obsolete due to incompatability in plugs and leads Ian ;)

Hi mate No the Vw and audi use a different plug its wider than the ford this is ford stuff but has changed from female to male Ian

The Head unit is the Blaupunkt used by Vw and Ford but the changer is a Ford one im sure Yes cable is in the rear but it has male plug on it my last Gal had a Female plug so it has changed The Unit is ISO on rear with row of 3 x mini ISO plugs in seperate socket not all in one big plug its not Quadlock This will give audio out for amp telephone in aux in Cd control on blue plug So Changer is specific for that model / Year :-( Regards Ian

Hi Guys Got an 03 Gal Ghia with Ford sat nav head unit Blaupunkt jobby has anyone got a CD Changer for one of these they may have removed on an upgrade ? or if anyone has one in the rear pocket could they please tell me the part number it must be the ford Nav unit up front not the 6000 unit Regards and thinks in advance Ian

Careful 14 Working Days :lol: Ian

EYE your local Halfraud dealers i have fixed many of there cock ups and there loose trim etc etc Parrot kit is good but with its problems they released it before all problems of IPod connectivity ( if you had to many songs on there ) it would lock up Freezing screens things are getting better with the updates but i am still alongway from fitting them for those reasons Hope yours is ok some are just not all :lol: Regards Ian

Thats why Maunufactures did not want to fit factory alarms for that very reason Retro fit are cheaper easier to service and damn more reliable when fitted correctly

Oh dear after all this time no you have no alarm it was optional on the Ghia X at that time so if you want a good system follow the advice and have it done proper Ian

Lazy motor or broken motor in drivers side Ian

if it has cl it wont necessarily have the domes i think the Ired system was phased out in 1997 and the op has a 1998 gal so it will be a radio version You were robbed :o Ian

Some Fords have bluetooth head unit but not all it will be on the menu may be there but not avialable as not fitted Done Mondeo and was meant to have bluetooth but was not on menu so not on that radio fitted Parrot kit instead for all ITV crew cars in Leeds
