dan.ne Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I want to add a keyless entry with flip remote to my stock central locking system.Preferably I’d like to use VW factory parts cannibalized from another car. Yesthere are aftermarket systems out there, but I feel better having genuine VW inmy hand…I do know that I’ll have to change the blade and the transponder thing to the “new”fob. But as far for what parts I need, I hope someone here can help me. Any tipson what model and year (or even parts numbers) I should try to find so it willbe plug and play? I have a 2001 1.4i. My car does have auto closure -if I turnthe locks and hold windows go up/ down. (I wish this also would close my ragtop- Ive got the open air version but that is a different thread)Sorry if I missed this thread elsewhere, but I did look first...Cheers fromthe land of the Vikings!

JoeA Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Search "right click central locking" on google. They do a keyless kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 He said he wants to use a genuine VW remote locking.At which point I'm out. It's not 'plug and play', you'll have to rip out your entire convenience module as I imagine they are all coded individually. You will need to get the remote kit from the car, and probably, the convenience module that goes along with that kit, then you will need to somehow butcher it into the Lupo. Not sure how, but it's probably doable. If you have second thoughts, just try one of the aftermarket ones, they aren't all that bad.Good luck though.

JoeA Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Pretty sure all keyless entry vags run on canbus. Good luck, hence my suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Pretty sure all keyless entry vags run on canbus. Good luck, hence my suggestion.Ahh, if it runs on Canbus, then you have little hope.Still, feel free to post your tutorial when if you finish fitting it.

Skezza Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Rightclick Or right click off ebay which seems to be a whole lot cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoffD Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 i put the genuine vw convenience pack in and yes it is a nightmare to "butcher in" but it works really well. if you don't want the butchery make sure to get the wiring loom (not the engine bit) from the donor car. it definately is the long way round but it will all work. the only bit that is coded is the alarm section of the box which is do-able with vag com, good luck.

I haven't fitted mine yet, but it seems like the benefit of the aftermarket one is simply the time it takes to fit. I reckon once I got the trim off it would take half an hour to fit and store nicely up behind the fuse box. Did you have to remove the entire center console?Main thing, does it communicate via VAGCOM? Obviously an aftermarket one is a separate product so really, it's encapsulated from the convenience module of the car and VAGCOM. If you used a proper VW convenience kit, does that mean it now integrates with VAGCOM, or not?Out of curiosity, what's the part code for the Convenience kit?
