Retro-fit the OEM remote central locking

Good day

I have recently purchased a 2002 Polo 1.4 S (with factory remote central locking).

I'd like to add Remote central locking to it.
Can anyone provide a definitive answer whether or not it's possible to retro-fit the OEM remote central locking unit that came standard on the SE model ?
I've read that some people did a plug 'n play direct swap, and if that is the case, how easy is it to reprogram an OEM flip key ?

Thanks in advance

Eug

Can be done mate.
Would love it on mine.

Here's a CP guide.

That's where I read it ... just wondered if more had done it as if it were that simple ie plug 'n play I don't know why more people don't do it ?!

I have used this kit in the past in my Mk4 Cabriolet and it did the job well:

But the build quality of the flip key remote was a little but "plasticky" hence why I was wanting to fit an OEM solution.
Or perhaps I could simply install the innards of the RClick flip key into an OEM flip key ...

I'd happily pay someone to do the OEM route for me anyday.
