UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

anyone used these kits from the bay ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Remote-Centra ... 3f4beae4e4 Don't have remote locking on my polo and really want to upgrade it, just curious about fitting, heard stories about fitting in line resistors etc ? What's all that about ? I have a friend that would fit it but I don't want to give him a nightmare doing it

IMO wouldn't trust the locking/security system of my car with a £12 eBay part. It's begging for trouble.

I'm open to suggestions if you know of a more expensive/trusted upgrade ?

Rclick.co.uk

They do a kit now with a genuine VW key shell

You'll need to put a resistor in for the central locking on these

Been reading up on the rclick but where does the resistor go ? What value and where can I get one ? Help ! Got the kit ordered and want as much info as possible before I/we attempt to fit it ? Is there anyone with a wiring diagram out there ?

It goes under the dash where the wires come out from the drivers door loom.

Ill find the link and add it in for you

Thanks for that, can just order a 180 ohm resistor from eBay ? Waiting to get a full weekend off to fit the kit so not an immediate rush yet

Yea or pop to your local maplin

Pm sent to you sir !
At least I think I have... Says its sat in my outbox ?

Right, I have the rclick kit, had the keys cut, which was a mission itself, moved the transponders over, keys are working locks and starting car fine now, just need to install the kit tomoro, just been reading through the kit and it also has window closure too, couple of questions, I had a quick look up behind the dash in drivers footwell and can only find one harness coming from door, is this the one I need to split and tap into ?
Second question, do I need to connect the window closure wire ? My windows close when the key is held in the closed position anyway ?

Yes from the door

And no ignore the window wire

Hi Alex sorry to be a pain, but does that mean my windows will close with the locking too ?

No, still controlled by the key

Getting the window roll up to work is more complicated on these models than a single wire. Requires diodes and relays
