Audi remote locking

I'd be surprised if a car of this age and price didn't have it? But most will also work from the front doors and boot if they're like BMWs of this age.

My immediate thought would be to remove one of the rubber gaskets going into a door and check the cables. A rear door is likely to only have an electric window and possibly a courtesy light of some sort.

If it were Lucas wiring you'd know the colours to look for. ;-)

It's unlikely to have had it, if it did have it fitted as an optional extra then there's a little IR sensor

The message from "Dave Plowman (News)" contains these words:

It works from the driver's door lock, you have to turn it twice to open all the other doors. It's the remote bit I'm not sure about.

The message from Duncanwood contains these words:

Where - and what's it look like?

IIRC it's a little blob on the B posts trim. If you've got it but not the key it's probably cheaper to buy an aftermarket one.

The message from Duncanwood contains these words:

The trouble with that is interfacing it to the existing factory alarm.

If it's the base level alarm (no ultrasonics) then it's suprisingly good at detecting the key up to about 6'. Try it wehn you won't irritate the neighbous by locking it & leaving the window down.

There should be an IR sensor near the bottom of the pillar between the front and rear doors. I'd say that's a fair sign it was fitted with it!

Ah - misread the post. It wasn't a factory fit on my '92 BMW 525 SE if that helps.

You'd get the bits to do it from Maplin for not a lot, though. Or even Ebay.

The message from Duncanwood contains these words:

Detecting /what/ key? The key is a plain metal one.

The message from "AstraVanMan" contains these words:

Right. In that case I suppose it wasn't!

Does the alarm set when the doors are locked manually?

The message from "Dave Plowman (News)" contains these words:

Yes. It's the only way the doors can be locked as I have no remote. It appears there never was a remote.

Well, assuming the driver's door has a motor and isn't like the Montego, etc, adding a Maplin remote should set the alarm too.

The message from "Dave Plowman (News)" contains these words:

Trouble is, unlocking it involves turning the key twice, which I don't think the alarm will manage.

Sounds like it's got deadlocks. By old BMW had those, and if you did deadlock it (with the key) the remote wouldn't open it. It had an aftermarket alarm and remote.

Remote ultra-sonic locking (and alarming) was an option for Audis around this year.

Look here :

These are what would have been fitted at the factory if that option was required.

I bought one of these kits for my 1995 Coupe. A very easy fit (easier still for an Avant!) and works well. Basically, unplug a multi-connector on you central locking vacuum pump (located just inside your tailgate area on the off-side) plug this unit in and piggy back original one.

Contact the guys at VagParts to see if its appropriate for you 100.

That's the thing! Mine does all the close the windows business. I'll give 'em a go.

Thanks.

ON mine the alrm went off if you opened the doors & the key was more than

10' away, if the key was in your pocket then it didn't. Even the plain metal keys got the immobiliser codes in it.
