dmrolyat Posted September 30, 2005 Report Posted September 30, 2005 Hi. Just bought the Galaxy, great car so far.BUT, did not come with the remote central locking key fob.Does anyone know a) whether it is capable of remote central locking (I thought I had seen that all Ghia's came with this) and B) where I can get the keyfobs. Many thanks Quote
Justice Posted September 30, 2005 Report Posted September 30, 2005 Not all were fitted with remote locking but you can but an upgrade kitIf you do a search for remote locking you will see that there are a posts and answers to this question. Quote
dmrolyat Posted September 30, 2005 Author Report Posted September 30, 2005 Many thanks..... i had already seen the other posts, but they indicate that the Ghia has remote locking as standard.I cannot see any domes in the vehicle, but the previous posts do indicate that it was an option on other models and standard on the Ghia.How can i be absolutely sure before i look into buying remote key fobs? Many thanks Quote
Justice Posted September 30, 2005 Report Posted September 30, 2005 One way is to ring the main dealer quoting your chassis number and they should be able to tell you if your car was fitted with remote function. Quote
dmrolyat Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Posted October 3, 2005 Main Dealer Garage have said that they CANNOT tell that information from the chassis number.Strange I know, but they say it doesnt give them such info..... Now where / what? Quote
brethy Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 Hi I had a 1997 2.8V6 Ghia X which did have remote central locking but I don't know if this was standard. Donna :lol: Quote
Justice Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 just re-read your post about key fob I maybe wrong but as a standard remote it was not on a fob but was part of the key itself. Quote
dmrolyat Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Posted October 4, 2005 Yes, I know that. Integral Key & Remote fob Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 According to the spec sheet 98 Ghia's came with remote locking :lol: 98 is the change over year! several parts were moved/incorperated into the CJB including the central locking, alarm and remote reciever! so you may not have the I/R domes fitted into the head lineing?

Justice Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 Based on that information then he will need to get some one else with a remote key and program it to his car if it works he has remote. Quote
dmrolyat Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Posted October 4, 2005 OK, many thanks.Will it be I/R or radio? Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 If you have no I/R reciever domes then I would say radio? but dont quote me on that :lol: Quote
redneck01246 Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 hi pm me reg and i will ask a mate at ford to run it on comp :lol: Quote
Guest keef Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 my last galaxy a97 ghia had infra red romote locking (not much good in bright sun light or more than a couple of feet away) but you can tell by half ball shapes in the roof trim front and rear Quote
