2013 S Remote locking (advise for a noob)

Post by Jaywii94 »

Hey guys
I recently got a polo 2013 s its ovely little car however was shocked to find no remote locking (it has central locking)
I thought it would be easy to install a kit (naively) but after reading the posts on this forum it seems a little more complicated than I expected.

My mechanical / electrical skill are zero :shock:

Can anyone suggest or help on which kit is best/ easiest and advice on how to install

Thanks in advance

Jay :)

Hi,
If i was you find someone with VCDS or similar tool and post an autoscan.
It might be easier than you think if your car module supports it.

given that it's an S model i'm guessing it has the 085 BCM so you probably need a new BCM and some remote keys

Yes, remove BCM.
Maybe OBD11, carista?

Those are like small "diagnostic tools" they aren't overly expensive .
Can you maybe join some facebook group and ask If someone near you has VCDS to do an AutoScan. Buy them coffe ✌️
Maybe ask someone here, you never know.

You can use this topic to to see how to remove the BCM, so you can see what part number you have.
