kala 1 Posted October 14, 2008 hi, what models come with remote central locking as standard? my old 1.9gti had it but some ive been looking at dont?? help please!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flipperthebushkangaroo 2 Posted October 14, 2008 not sure for later models but up to 89 ish it was only available as part of the alarm (dealer fit option) if i have it right it is only a rebadged moss alarm. but did the job ok for me for about 10 years til it got broken into when i was out in cardiff and the police ripped the wires out to keep the neighbours happy. they rang the police to complain that the alarm was going off Still got it fitted but need to sort it out as it seems to get lonely and go off at random now :glare: Hope this rambling helps Roddie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baz 421 Posted October 15, 2008 Ph2's basically, 90> have the capability, not sure they all came as std with it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,626 Posted October 15, 2008 my 89 P1.5 1.9 has central locking but not remote (is remote now with aftermarket alarm) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted October 15, 2008 Ph2's basically, 90> have the capability, not sure they all came as std with it though. I think central locking was standard on the 1.9, but remote control was an optional extra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilauea 7 Posted October 15, 2008 my 89 P1.5 1.9 has central locking but not remote (is remote now with aftermarket alarm) Likewise here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildheart 0 Posted October 15, 2008 Do the cars with remote central locking not have a little black half-sphere sensor on the roof (inside) next to the rear-view mirror? My 1990H 1.9 certainly does, though it has never worked for me (what with not having the fob and all...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) yes. If you have the little dome, the car probably has the wiring, hence my reply above. I think central locking was standard on the 1.9, but remote control was an optional extra. Yars, I was referring to the topic, Remote central locking.

eno 0 Posted October 15, 2008 My J reg 1991 never had it. I had to pay an orphan to pull the door locks up and down for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
holland_gt 0 Posted October 16, 2008 My gtx has the alarm, no fob and a mess of wiring. But it doesnt have central locking, or is it only remote activated, if so how can i get a fob and fix it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sss_205GTI 0 Posted October 16, 2008 chears guys, just dont seem to see many with remote central locking do you. its something i would like on my next one so atleast i no my previous one wasnt fitted with an aftermarket one! thanks! My 1990 1.6 has it - dont have any fob - but do have that black sensor thingy near the rear view mirror and do have some very dodgy looking alarm plate on the side of the rear quater, that a key fits (to turn the alarm on and off !) So does that mean i should have a fob for the black sensor thingy near the mirror? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted October 16, 2008 It means it has the capability to have it yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sss_205GTI 0 Posted October 16, 2008 It means it has the capability to have it yes. And would that just be a central locking fob or would it be connected to the alarm aswell? I know on some of our Toyotas, its only a central locking fob and has nothing to do with the alarm or immobiliser.Im crap when it comes to understanding this sort of thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted October 16, 2008 Just a fob, It's seperate, doesn't have anything to do with the alarm that you may have in your car, the remote central locking is a pug thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
