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?

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.

hi

 

no lumps or bumps in headlining!!!

and no switch on bonnet hinge

so no alarm!!

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?

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.

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
