looks cheap and crap

personally id go for this from corsacentre its gives you a control box and remotes plus the remotes are in the style of the newer corsa keys so you end up with flippy keys

the problem is that i dont have manual central locking either.dya think that 1st one would be crap then??has any1 else fitted remote central locking systems?

I've got the standard central locking system that came on my SRi but my Toad is wired into it now so that's how I ended up with RCL.

Maybe you should buy the OEM motors and get the door looms and then fit an alarm....problem solved. Unless of course, your wiring from the car to the door doesn't allow for it.

 

[lufcfan27]

i think the only wiring going through the door are the front speaker wires.how easy would that kit be to fit??for a novice?

 

[Sky]

Best way to find out how easy it'll be is to unplug the door loom connector (in the door hinge) and count the pins you have on the car side. You might be pleasantly surprised....I think mine has 22 pins, which means although I did not have electric mirrors and windows, if I had the motors and switches installed, I could run them.

Just count the pins for now and go from there is best.

 

[lufcfan27]

just had a look and theres only 2 pins.lol.it will be harder for me 2 fit everythin else now wont it?

 

[Sky]

You have 2 pins on the car side of the connector? If that really is the case then yes, you will have some headaches trying to fit the loom to allow for it. You'll have to pay someone to do the work put it that way.

 

[mmvcorsa129]

buy an aalrm that covers remote central locking like he toad and wire a universal kit through the alarm rather then through the car cheapest option and any spark can o it for you

well i looked on the door side because it just clipped off

 

[Sky]

well i looked on the door side because it just clipped off

They both do. You need to look on the car side not the door as I explained. The reason is that you may already have the correct loom to allow for the OEM central locking.

Otherwise, mmvcorsa129's solution is your best bet.

Are you not upgrading to an sxi now then?

 

[lufcfan27]

well i still want 2.its just finding money.im working 12 hours a week at sainsburys while going college to do public services.lol.im not what they call rich!im saving gradually

i've bought and fitted an entry-level Microscan alarm, then the central locking kit to it. took about a weekend and was fairly straightforward, has been totally reliable (even when it got broken into), has a really annoying (so you can't ignore it) tone and was less than £80 with p&p. my brother was so impressed he bought one too ( i had to fit it though he did help).
a good little mod later on is to wire it to trip a relay for the fuel pump, instant immobiliser heh heh...

I did public services at college, right after I finished my mechanic course.
What area of the public services are you looking at getting into?

 

[lufcfan27]

police.i wanna be a traffic cop.bt if i c any corsa drivers actin mad,i will just turn a bline eye.lol.:thumbs_up:

 

[Tim]

No dont turn a blind eye to all of them just the ones with allcorsa stickers, give us a good reason to have them :thumbs_up:

 

[Sky]

I've wanted to be a traffic cop since I was like 15 years old....my otherwise squeaky clean record was tarnished with a Public Order incident back 2 years ago though which I think makes me exempt now

Both my parents work for the Police too, they seem happy enough.....my stepdad is a DS.
