hi sorry on your first point you mean safer plug the fuse in instead of hooking it up directly with cable to the battery? thanks

@@James-cd7dl I mean it's best using the fused cable that's included but hooking the end that's closest to the fuse to the battery and the farthest end to the control module

@@Adam_G ah gotcha thank you

Please how do I connect the indicator lights to work when ever I lock and unlock the car, should I connect it to the 12volt to each indicators?

​@@fredobas3602connect to turn signal fuse using fuse tapper/tap-a-fuse or maybe it will be easy to use the hazard light switch cables)

Hi kensmithmail I would like more information on how to do this. My battery is in the boot, is there any chance you would know where to look for a live wire under the dash? Thanks

Thank you! Glad you found it useful

Glad to be of help!

What year polo was this? I’m planning on doing it to my 2010 polo. Let me know how it went!

Sorry for your loss man, things happen... Thanks for watching and all the best with your project 💪🏼

thanks for the feedback, Gary. Thought it'd be a more sensible option once I have wired it all up! Tried going through the fusebox first but that did not work, unfortunately.

i wouldn't touch the ignition cables tho... you can always piggyback a fuse from the fuse panel with a live 12v

@@efran202 actually use the hot wire from the cigarette lighter switch

Can someone help me do this? Where can I look for live wires? My battery is in the boot .

DUKE EIGHTNINE I think without the car on, use a voltmeter to find a 12V. Red lead on the tip of the wire and black lead on any metal under the dash

@@ashberkley the wiring loom to the vacuum pump (trunk) has all the wires you need to connect the module for keyless entry, the signals simply connect to the rear lights, that's the tidiest way to do this mod.

Glad to hear!! Cheers

Great idea mate

Glad you found it useful! Good luck with your Cruiser down under 😉

@@Adam_G Hi mate, just wanted to follow up - my new keyless entry kit is working flawlessly, thanks to your video I worked through a few install bugs! You legend! Thanks mate, Good Luck against the All Blacks this weekend!

@@mitchsimpson2384 Very glad to hear that! Fingers crossed mate 😋

any advice about vac pump feed ,mines dead

A lot of the people here have suggested using the power from the ignition barrel which is a lot more straightforward. In older cars it's easy to get thru the firewall but for newer ones getting power from ignition or even the stereo is a lot easier.

Or always get power from the cigarette lighter

Good luck! As others have pointed out it may be easier to wire it up to the ignition switch but see what's easiest

I imagine most unbranded Chinese units run on same controllers so the remotes should be compatible!

Good point. See, different cars have modules with switched power, eg. cigarette lighter, stereo etc, however taking it straight from the battery is simply the most reliable option

Some cars have always live +12V, like in the power socket, others kill any power when the ignition is switched off.

not so sure about that , i connected red live to actuator and fried it

no need really, the wiring may have different colors, you should look at the pinout on the manual you get with the system, and the wiring on the car, you just have to figure out the cables like he did

true i will try to copy, my existing wiring is all to cock and i need help please anybody

Angel Chino use the wire for light flashing and hook it to the hazard switch wires

Glad it was helpful!

Hi, appreciate the kind words! Do you mean how to wire up the flashers?

Hi, there's a limited number of wires running to the lock so it's easy to find the right ones using trial and error.

I'm glad I could help!

I have sold the Golf but at the same time I installed the system in my Audi A3. So far so good, though I think I will be changing the battery soon for the remote fob as it's beginning to lose range

never mind i jump the gun there i see why his done it that way

tried that and fried actuator

Yes you can!

Yes, those remote central locking control modules are universal and replacement remotes should be available on eBay. A new remote can be paired by pressing a little button next to the wiring harness connector and then pressing any key on a new remote. Regards

Hi, the module has two wires (L and R) that I connected to front indicator lights. It may work better to connect them to a hazard light switch.

WurstExpress #616 I think we can all agree that Hans is the most stereotypical German name haha

Hi, re. the indicators, yes, the hazard light switch was a much much more logical solution that didn't come to my head at the time I was doing the video. The reason why I hooked 12V straight to the battery is because I did not know which components work and which do not when the ignition is off- some cars have their 12V socket supplying constant power, some kill the power the second ignition is switched off. As the box is not an accessory but rather something you want to have constantly powered I'd play it safe and connect the wire to the nearest known permanent 12V terminal, which in my case was the battery. Cheers

@@Adam_G smart thinking to be honest, I think I'll hook it up to the central locking pump in the boot, that has to have a constant power source and also the rear turn signals are close to splice into. Is there any chance to get the windows wind up once locked as the mk3 power windows work once they have power on the switch? Thanks.

Richárd Sógor are your windows one-touch or do you have to hold the switch for them to close fully? If they are one-touch you could send the indicator signal to the window via a one-way diode so that the signal going from box to indicators also activates the switch, but the window switch or the indicators cannot influence each other while the car is running, if it makes sense.

They work as one touch if I quickly tap on the buttons, if I push them constantly they'll go until I want them.

Hi, anything in particular you'd like help with?

try this one trick... get a small computer fan and now try to connect the wire like this: lock wire from the car->computer fan(+) computer fan(--) ->ground Does it work? I am asking because my Audi A3 works on a "resistance" principle- straight wire connection locks the doors, whereas if you put a resistor inbetween the wire and the ground it unlocks the car. You can then make a Y-joing from the car lock wire and route straight wire into lock signal and "resisted" signal through the computer fan into unlock signal.

Adam G yes it works, I also test by connecting one end of testing light to the said green wire of the Output BCM connector and the other end to negative ground. Thereafter, all 5 doors locked automatically. Now, how to unlock all the 5 doors again? And, would be pleased to know which wires of the Input BCM connector corresponds to lock and unlock doors. In this case, everything would be done for the remote system if we could locate the said wires. With regards. Thanks.

So when you connect a small computer fan between the green wire and ground, does it still lock all doors?

Adam G yes....all doors are still locked

try using different resistors and see if this helps... i do not think the signal is digital, there has to be a way

Is your fusebox in the front, under the bonnet? Usually the fuses are fed by a master +12V thick wire from the battery, which could be used to power the locking control block. If that doesn't work, you could still feed the wire from the back of the car but since this block doesn't consume much power at all, a simple 2mm diameter (without insulation) wire should be good. Cheers

Adam G my fusebox is under the steering wheel

How do I find the live wire going to the fuse box?

@@ashberkley what car do you have? Usually that wire is either on the side or behind the fusebox. Simply a thick red wire. But if you cannot find it, it may be simpler to feed it from the back.

Pete Lucas hahah can't possibly that far away? 😏

Bennie G my Golf had a door lock-operated central locking system from the factory, and yes, the one on the passenger side still works. I chose to fit it on the driver’s side as I mentioned the driver’s side barrel was busted. Hope this helps

Bennie G that's very curious questions for me too. If the car comes factory fitted central lock, upgrade to remote would be just a simple steps away!!

Will this remote lock works in Hyundai i20 since the car already comes with factory fitted central locking?

yes. the way this kit works is, it tricks the computer into thinking you just turned the key in the door when in fact you pressed a remote. so if your car has central locking, this will work.

So I would be needing the following only: remote key, control unit, wiring harness. And not even a single actuator is required though? Let me be clear of this particular actuator. Thanks.

Hi what year is your Polo? Could be a single-wire system (like in my Audi A3) where you must use a resistor for unlock and a clean signal for lock

@@Adam_G hi, thank you for responding. My car is from 2012.

@@reindervliet526 hi, in that case there is one ground and one +12V wire. Live signal is lock while live signal put through a resistor is unlock- you must split the live wire into two and connect straight signal to lock wire in the control module and wire with a resistor to unlock one. I can't tell you which resistor values you need, it'll have to be a bit of trial and error

So when you press lock, nothing happens and when you press unlock once, car locks, another time, and the car unlocks?

@@Adam_G when i press lock nothing happens. When i press unlock it locks the car. Full stop. If i press unlock again it will unlock.

@@michaelkennedy8573 for your door lock, does the key turn both left and right or just one way?

@@Adam_G both

@@michaelkennedy8573 right, when you're shorting the wires, does it lock/unlock with a single wire also?

Same problem here. Any solution? My fuse gone also

Still checking 😉 can you upload the diagram to a photo hosting website and share the link with me?

@@Adam_G Of course I'll get back to you in a bit.

imgur.com/w1Bvxsn imgur.com/Lo8hzHE Here are the images you need. Thanks for your help in advance!

@@zahidala to me it seems you need to gain access to the wires feeding door lock and door unlock relays. Are you able to see ant wiring going through the door towards the lock near the handle?

@@Adam_G Well I haven't quite had a look in the car itself I thought to look in the wiring diagram before doing anything. Where I should be looking for this? In the panel or the loom that runs through the door

When you have it connected, does the central locking work as normal with a key?

So if I press lock my doors lock but then unlock and if I press unlock the doors do unlock. I've used manual key in the door and all 4 doors will lock and stay locked but if I use the remote key then it locks but unlocks and won't stay locked

@@kimilesnipez that's weird... I have never ran into such a problem. Just to confirm you have three wires running from the locks yeah?

@@Adam_G yeah it was 3 wires and it was just messing up took 2 days to figure out and my girlfriend realised of we press lock button 2x with a 1 second gapbit locks. So that's good it works. But can't figure out the indicators. I tried wiring the hard lights but it just kept blowing the fuse and I don't know how to do it haha

@@kimilesnipez oh, that's an interesting twist, I never seen a kit that needs a double press... Have you tried wiring it to the hazard light switch?

Send me an email on adomas97@gmail.com

Hi, the module has two wires coming out of it (left and right indicator) that I connected to front left and right lamps. It may work better if you plug them directly to the hazard light switch. Hope this helps.

@@Adam_G ooo ok, thanks it helped! 😃
