Central Locking

Post by HEX093 »

ok, I promised stupid questions..

The FTO has central locking yeah, that you use with the key and both doors lock, but it isnt remote, that you'd have to install separately?

Is that correct?

(I would like remote central locking, any suggestions on how to make that happen?)

Get an alarm system that lets you remote open your doors.
In fact, go fancy and get an alarm system that remote open your doors and remote starts your engine.

You have to be careful with remote engine starts if your car is a manual. A guy here was recently prosecuted for starting his manual car with a remote starter after he'd left it in gear. It jumped forward and hit a pregnant woman 8O - not good.

But yeah a window winder would be very handy...
