...i can open my car from 10cm away rather than actually putting the key in the lock. because using keys is for losers

(i guess?)
fitted my central locking.
i've been taking photos so a guide will follow shortly

ahh good new mate! that will always be good for when its raining!

you gonna de-lock your doors or leave the locks in? on my G40 i changed just the passenger side for a de-locked one as i didn't fancy having to break a window if the keyfob decides to pack up!
is it in conjunction with an alarm?
regards
Doug

i've got a really old alarm (although seems a pretty good professional one) but the key fob is broke on it so i can't use the alarm so it's not wired in although it can be if i wanted to...you gotta wire it to the alarm even if it's just so the lights go lol. i'm not sure about de-locking actually, that's a good idea actually just doing the passenger side, as you said i don't wanna have to break a window if my key fob battery dies lol. i might do that at some point, you just get a rear door handle from a golf right?

you are right about needed a rear door handle from a 5 door golf or jetta, however you did need to make a tiny adjustment!
its quite simple, just need to nock out a pin, change the flipper and put the pin back on.

i thought i said in the guide but it was a company called DIYGti on ebay, just type in remote central locking and they'll be loads from the same company, they're all the same kit despite saying different car models, but i bought a polo one just to cover myself incase it didn't fit. i got a 4 door kit for £35
