anyway !

Not from the outside! imagine how tiring it gets having to first get in
then open each door from the inside to let spouse and brood in. Anyway,
arguments won't wash "you've got it, why can't I have it too" she
say's. :-)

| This sounds like an extremely non cost effective excercise.
Messing about with wiring looms is incredibly tedious,
requiring much removal of trim and suchlike. Car trim often
appears to be designed on a fit once principle, since the
act of removing it often destroys the retaining clips etc.
How about some elegantly arranged lengths of string connected to
the door locks, or better still trade up to one that's already
got it fitted.

| Well the wiring isn't too much of a problem, I could do that in my
sleep. I just need the control module and actuators.
Re trading up, she only just got it, the best she could afford.
Anyone know who this company is?

| The Moss range of alarms have a separate central-door-locking module that you
can buy and plug into the main alarm box. Dunno how much, or whehter you could
fit it to a different make of alarm...

| Hi Scott,
It is actually a MOSS alarm! But the second cheapest they did at the
time. It only has a socket for untrasonic sensors, no more. Also it
arms automatically (after a short delay) once the ignition is off, you
don't want that linked to you doors!
Great idea though.

Robert,
I could try talking to my mate, he had the solenoids from a Renault and
a home built box to control it, all actuated by a Moss 705 (the cheapest) alarm.
Either that, or you could wait till I start/finish my design for having
central door locking and a time out alarm arming. (But that could be a while)

Re: .8
I have central locking on my Golf, and was thinking of
fitting a Moss alarm with the extra module. How is the
connection between this new module and the existing
central locking system made?
Thanks,
Graham

| re .10
Presumably, the central locking module connects to the wire coming from the
switch in the driver's door lock (ie it fools the central locking into thinking
you've turned the key in the lock)

| Thanks for the instructions robert (infernal snail was like a rocket)
sent you my mail stop around 2:00 pm, in my tray by 5:00 pm!)
I've phoned them up and they are sending me info in the post.
Now sit back and wait, decide, and shell out...
