How to fit remote central locking on your pride and joy.

[braindeadhmster]

Car - Mk5(6n2), not sure if any other polos have the same colour wires, but what you can do is check in the haynes manual for the wiring diagrams in the back

Tools - Basic tools, such as scissors, screwdrivers, plyers etc.
Time - 1 hour if you know what your doing if not faster than that.

Fitting Control Unit Right first of all what you will need to do is take a bit of the bottom dash out, theres a couple of screws underneath the panel and one or two near the light switch and one hidden behind the left side of the steering wheel behind this small plastic bit which is the only piece you will need to unscrew (for more details on taking that panel out check a haynes manual). once you've taken it off you need to get the remote central locking control box ready by neatly tying the wires you don't need. Then you can slip it on top of the fusebox and pull the wires out through the gap next to fuse box, to make sure they will be hidden away and secure when you put the dash back on.

Now what you need to do is cut a bit of the big black insulated cable, which has loads more cables inside. once you've got access to the cables all you need to do is connect these wires together


(ignore the cuts on the wires)

Unit -to- Car
2 X Brown (indicators) -to- Black/white + Black/Green
White (lock) -to- Yellow/White
White/Black (unlock) -to- Green/White
2 X Yellow/Black + Red (12v power) -to- Red/White
Black (ground) -to- Brown

Once you've got all these wires hooked up using the red clips provided start to tidy everything up. Before closing everything up and bolting the plastic panel back on check that it is locking and unlocking correctly.



once it is all working properly you should be ready put your car back together, and that's all there is to it



3) windows rollup - To get the windows rollup feature to work you need to convert negative green wire from the remote central locking into positive using a relay then you use this wire to lock the doors instead of the white one which is mentioned above. Updated For the windows to work you need to get an SPDT relay and wire it up between the green wire from the control unit and the lock wire on the car yellow/white like this (first diagram on the page converting from negative to positive) The green wire from the control unit = negative trigger and yellow/white on the car needs to be connected to the 12v + output http://www.the12volt.com/relays/page1.asp


4) Boot Solenoid - And if you've got a boot solenoid which needs to be linked up you use black/red wire from the control box.

http://www.uk-polos.net/view ... 10&t=30954 there you go bud

In fact, its exactly the same guide? Whered you find that one?

[braindeadhmster]

On another forum site. Anyone know how i can fit remote engine start to car (it came with alarm)

[h4r1s]

Yup that's the guide I did a while ago...

I don't know if I still have the pictures, let's have a look

[braindeadhmster]

Sorry if i infringed your copyright, I couldn`t find a guide on hre and found one elsewhere and thought i`d post it here for people to use, sorry again.
Do you know how to fit remote start on a mk5 6n2.

[alexperkins]

Ah well all good.

Remote start on a 6n2 isnt the easiest of things to install. Due to the fact they use a transponder immobiliser, you need a bypass in place to disable this - therefore, you would need an alarm to ensure you car cannot be stolen that has an immobiliser built in.

Once you have got past that bit, its pretty easy running. Just gotta be careful with manual gearboxes and remote start - if you leave it in gear, it could be dangerous!

[braindeadhmster]

Thanks, So how exactlly do i do it. What wires ect do i use.

[alexperkins]

what kit have you got?

if you can send us a scan or photo of the wiring manual you got with it, i should be able to tell you what goes where

[braindeadhmster]

Dont have photo or scanner. Do i just connect the remote starter wire from the main unit to the "outlet wire" on the ignition barrel

[alexperkins]

How thick is the wire coming off the remote starter? Youd probably have to have it so it triggers the ignition switch (this has a trigger wire, as its basically a relay)

[braindeadhmster]

A = Live wire
B = Wire going to starter motor
C = From unit to remote start

Do i connect C to B

[alexperkins]

i guess so. do the instructions not provide any guidance? what make is this kit as I may be able to find a digram
