Remote Keyless Entry Install

2000 2.7 keyed central locking. Keyless didn't become standard until 2003 I think. I know is sucks $110K for a car & you still need to use a keys to open it. LOL

Yeah, Boxster's cost twice as much (at least second hand they are) in Oz cf US. And you get less kit with it.

Anyway, have you tried reading error codes with a OBD2 scanner?

How about unplugging the battery to try to reset the central locking indicator?

Maybe splice into the actual switch would be a better idea. You probably know this but the outputs of the remote central locking device isn't really designed to actually power the actuators. It's meant to provide a switching signal to trigger the relays that control the actuators.

Thanks Jinster,

I'm unsure what the tiggers are from the switch to lock & unlock the doors. I found the inputs & I think the might just place an earth of each input from the switch to trigger lock/unlock respectively. I might have to run a relay because the outputs from the remote unit just provide pulsed +12VDC when swithced.

Yes all cars over hear are much more expensive. If I bought my Boxster in the US I probably would have paid US$15K-$20K I suppose. In Oz I paid US$46K. Big difference. Parts are also a lot cheaper. Whereever it is viable I import bits & pieces fromthe US for both my Porsche & BMW.

Any other assistance in getting this remote working wouyld be appreiated.

Thanks

Finally got this completed today. Had to get a couple of relays to swith the outputs of the remote unit to suit the Boxster, If anyone wants the detailed info just PM me & I'll be happy to gove it to you.
