Guest coxy134 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 hi me again should my 96 sharan gl have remote locking??? it works ok but no key fob? also does it have an alarm/imobliser? it has a red light on door but doesnt lite up? thanx steve Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 It has an immobiliser, thats what the red LED is for on the door, to see if you have an alarm fitted pop the bonnet, look on the passenger side hinge if there is a switch operated by a candle snuffer device then you may have an alarm? another tell tale sign is the two large extremities sticking out the B posts above the seat belt , these are the ultra sonic sensor houseings if you have remote locking there should be a couple of recievers mounted on the head lining, one above the rear view mirror and the other above the rear hatch does that help?

Guest NigelP Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 The obvious clue as to whether or not you have Infra-Red remote locking is the presence of the two receiver domes inside the vehicle. Both are fitted to the headlining - one at the rear and one just behind the rearview mirror. Hope this helps. NigelP Quote
Guest coxy134 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 hi no lumps or bumps in headlining!!!and no switch on bonnet hingeso no alarm!! how do i activate imobiliser as the light doesent seem to come on! Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 The immobiliser activates when you remove the key from the ignition, the LED should flash to show its operating, just because its not flashing doesnt mean its not working, it could just be a duff LED or failure of the wireing to it where it passes from the A post to the door?

Guest coxy134 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 so is there a chip in the key then? Quote
greg_68 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 Hi all, regarding remote locking. I never even thought that my galaxy may have remote locking as it only came (secondhand) with a normal black and red key. I have the gizmo's in the headlining so have I the remote locking facility on it? How easy / expensive / possible is it to have a remote key made for the car. What would be my best bet? Thanks, Greg.

Guest vr6galaxy Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 According to my info the 95 Ghia had remote locking as standard, so it may just be a case of obtaining the correct remote key and programming it into the system Quote
