how easy to get remote central locking for car?

regarding a vw polo that needs a manual key to lock/unlock the doors - how easy would it be to convert it to remote locking?

How old is your car? Is it worth doing?

Do other Polos the same age as yours have central locking?

Maybe get necessary bits from a breakers.

Look here. Read the instructions. See if you are happy doing it.

Why bother ??? It is only something else to go wrong.

Does the car have non remote central locking already? I presume not, in which case you can get a universal kit quite cheaply from online motor factors etc, they're only about £30, but then you'll have to spend about a day taking the doors to pieces and fiddling around with wiring. Alternatively you could pay someone to do it but it'll be about £200. I wanted to do it to my car which also has no central locking, but decided against it as it simply wasn't worth it.

if the car already has central locking but opens via the drivers door key instead of a remote fob you could do it by only taking the driver door card off and fitting the solenoid to the drivers door only.

if your not bothered about hazard lights flashing then you don't need to worry about connecting these up.

it could be a fairly simple install.

if its a 5 doors without any central locking it might be a bit time consuming,but not too complexed.
