Another attempt at remote central locking?!

[Ivorcally]

Hi everyone,

Have just bought a Cobra remote central locking kit off of e-bay for £50. It should arrive tomorrow. Will keep you all posted about fitting etc.

See you at PV Pod?

Hi,

Got the Cobra kit; it all looks pretty straightforward to fit, but I haven't tried it yet!

Hey thats Great

Hi All,

Fitted the Cobra remote locking kit on Sunday and it works fine. It locks and unlocks but I have yet to find a suitable place to connect to the flashers so it does so un-flashingly . All of the connections to make it work are to the central locking box behind the driver's kick plate, but I will probably have to go through the bulk head to connect the flashers. The longest time was spent double-checking the connections against the wiring diagram in the Haynes manual before making connections. Window lifting doesn't work, but I suppose that is associated with the switch at the second key position which I haven't connected to.

keith, if you have a look at this

Go to the passenger side under the glove box and locate a BLACK/GREEN and a BLACK/WHITE striped wires, these are the indicator wires.
On the drivers side kick panel near the central locking box is a BROWN/BLACK wire, this is the window close signal wire, but i dont know if this will work with the Cobra kit might be worth a try [img]/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for the info Keith.

I have a Cobra system on my car already and I like it. Have you set yours to chirp on locking / unlocking? I read a guide on how to do it but it didn't work on my system.

I'd love to know if there was a remote start add-on for my system!

Thanks Robbie [img]/smile.gif[/img]

I'll check the brown/black wire for window opening too.

Smurf, I don't think my kit has this feature, but it may be that it is not mentioned in the manual.

Hi,

Robbie, I found the wires behind the passenger kick plate and now have flashy lockers!

Does this system operate the deadlocks?
