Grand vitara remote central locking kit?

[Jay18]

I'm looking at doing remote central locking on my GV

It has the double click safety feature
1turn of the key unlocks the drivers door
2 turns of the key unlocks all doors

And locking is full lock of all the doors on one turn

The same for use of the lock buttons on the drivers door

Is there a kit specifically for the GV or cars with this double click feature?

Or is there a way I can use a normal kit?

Thanks in advance...

I would try phoning round the breakers, an OE system should just plug straight in.

After searching the internet for a while I have found someone on another website has used a kit for a VW
It does the double click so it works like a normal central locking and will unlock all doors instead of just the one

Even comes with a blank key and slot to put the immobiliser chip in it,

It's one of them flip out keys built into the fob, will probably pay a auto electrician to do it though, wouldn't want to balls it up and end up with a car that won't start haha

Is it really worth all the expense and hassle over having to just turn the key twice?

Well the kit I found is only £30, it's not urgent, just ordered a new set of tyres for it, think I will be keeping the steel wheels for now

Would like a double din CD player as well, I've got a rewording camera knockingabout somewhere I can use as well, and it means I can connect my iphone to it and it has built in sat nav...

The units that I've seen have a mass of wiring, its going to cost a lot of money to get an auto-elec to wire it in, plus if he doesn't do a good job of splicing it all in to the existing loom then you'll have no end of aggro with it.

I have had a cheap double-DIN unit in my Bongo for about five years, it does pretty much everything except make the tea. I mostly use an SD card for music or the radio. I've just ordered an Android based unit for the Jimny, the stock radio isn't very good and who uses CDs these days? A little bit of programming and I could actually get it to make the tea as well

Get mmtracker running on an android one too!

its all about maps in the dash!

What is the android one that you have? I've seen android pc's that have internet and everything

I think an android double din would be good in the GV...

Remote locking will have to wait anyway, not a major thing really but a double din would be sweet, only have to take the clock and small storage slot out and I think it already has a ISO lead for the clarion CD player it has...

I have this one on its way from China:

This one has a USB port on the rear that I can bring out to a hub and the supplier has provided me with the password for the USB debugger interface which you need to test apps on it. I also bought the fascia adapter from another supplier. Also it has built in digital TV, many of them are analogue TV and you need another box to decode a digital signal.
