Adding Keyless Remote Central Locking To Mk 1 Tdi?

[Ginettamad]

Next Improvement idea is to do this.

Anyone added this to a car without it as standard? Found this on ebay which claim it should fit and work but does it?

What sort of a wiring mess could I get into with this and what about the chips in the keys? Will any re programming be needed?

I have a '96 Gal so the wiring is a bit different but the kit works well and only has remote fobs without keys, works fr me, oh and I sing the praises of the Ebay seller (right click) as I had a problem with a remote, a replacement was sent the following day FOC.

You do not need that!

My Galaxy is from 1998 and didn't have remote control.

I've bought one from VW and it Works OK.

1st you need to program the remote.

2nd you need to take the transponder from your old key and put inside the remote.

And it works OK

How much did that cost then from the dealers?

I now have the

[Ginettamad]

Now fitted my keyless remote locking KE60 as per Musseys Photo and its working for opening and closing ok. Which wires do I connect to for the Full closure mode and which for the boot only release please? Neither of these work now.

Anyone successfully done this on a late MK1 with locking module under the dash?

Also is there no way of using the blank Keys supplied with the remote as they are not chipped? I cant see a way of transferring the original key parts over to the remote which is a shame?

I have also found that if i lock the car with thr key then the remote wont work for unlocking unless i push the lock button first then unlock to activate the unit. This is also a shame but not a big problem once you know.

So if anyone has sorted the full closure and boot release with the KE60w please let me know.

I don't know anyone thats got glbal close/open with an aftermarket remote kit, as the Gal uses a prolonged signal thru the open/close key barrel circuits, iirc it was removed from OEM remotes too, because of safety aspects.

 

I found the same quirk when car is locked with key.

 

As for the boot release, err sorry don't know, can't make heads or tails of TIS.
