Was this ever fitted from the factory?

I'm getting sick and tired of fumbling with keys getting drenched in the Welsh summer. :x

Can anyone recomend a kit? :)

I've also though a lot about this.

Interested in the possibilities!

Looks like just what I'm looking for - not a bad price too. I'm glad it doesn't come with a cheap nasty key fob! Cheers :cool:

only thing i dont like is the flashing led, i bought a kit for my 316i and they used to come with a red one you mount in the dash, i suppose its just a case of wiring a different one in :)

i also bought a flip out key one for my old corsa with all the central locking solernoids, fitted it and it worked fine for the 10 month i had the car, still works with the new owner as far as i know :)

An excellant kit! I've got two of these in use, plus another slightly different kit from the same place.
No LEDs, flashing or otherwise.
The only criticism is that the range can be a bit too great - the fob will unlock the car from indoors.

i will agree with the range being too massive :mad:

Looks my remaining fobs are on their last legs so the Rightclick setup looks like a good way to go. I've not had much luck hunting down for the fitting guide on here, so if anyone can point me in the right direction that'd be ace. Is it a fairly easy job?

Cheers for the help

That right click thing is cheap and nasty, I fitted one a few weeks ago and was not impressed at all, I would not fit one on any of my cars. All the paperwork is translated badly probably from some far eastern language, the fob/key flip thing is very tacky/bling

If you want a good remote locking module get a Lazerline, I fitted one of these to my second E30, very well made, simple and the fob is a quality piece. Its still in use now 6 years later in another E30 8)

Model number is 210
