Remote central locking

Post Thu Sep 21, 2006 1:22 pm

I'm after getting a kit for my 325 and have seen a few universal ones on offer, ranging from locking to actual remote starting too!

One that does interest is one that does the windows too.

Would this work on the E30 cos don't you have to have the ignition on to work the windows or is there an override for this?

Any one had any experience in using / fitting these?

Thanks all,

Nick

sounds good!

Don't suppose you have details (model etc)?

for the windows to go up once the alarm is armed, you need a window lifter module... this is seperate from the alarm itself! they dont cost much... you then wire them up to the windows and one of the wires to the alarms output signal so it makes them go up on alarm activation

na i had to get the module for the windows and central locking but its well worth it

well i have an alarm and imob already (although haven't a clue what type) ..... maybe i just need the central locking and lifter module then.

Toad ai606 is a proper alarm - plenty of features also

but end of the day, alarm is only as good as the person who fits it..

sorry cab didnt mean to complicate the issue.. fowler said they were crap cos he was winding up cliffy..
