The Best $20 You'll EVER spend on your 4WD! DIY Keyless remote LOCKING!

[@tigernatorgaming1969]

These types of videos are amazing that was something that I've been wondering if possible and no-one covers things like that

[@AussieArvos]

Thanks mate! Really appreciate it!

[@mickburns5546]

I installed one of these on an old 1960s Pontiac about 10 years ago. It still works. So simple. Keep up the good work 😊

[@AussieArvos]

Thanks Mick!

[@officialWWM]

I installed one of these on my old Jeep when the factory system stopped working. 1 year later, it’s still working like a charm.

Bro. Ive watched your creativity for a while now o the Tube. The way your mind works is a true asset - regarding figuring out the hidden logic in stuff. That ability is appropriately demonstrated - in this particular vid.: the "key" to fixing any (well almost every...) thing! As always, great to watch your ingenuity in progressing YOUR Series 80 evolution. Rare natural Talent.

For future reference crimps are better for automotive purposes as they're more resilient to vibration (when installed correctly) i'd suggest using the resin heat shrink crimps too as they'll ensure a waterproof connection Great video as usual mate keep it up!

[@viktordudson9556]

I’m about to do the same in my Ceed. Just by looking at the wires I feel dizzy but after watching your video i feel a lot more confident about installing it. Thanks a lot!

[@richardwilliams8667]

Confirming on an 80 series you need to combine the two yellow wires together from the unit and earth them. I used the earth bolt behind the drivers kick panel where I brought the control wires through the door grommets I joined into the connector at the drivers door control panel. The two green wires are either side of the lock tab on the connector. These connect to the two white wires on the unit as per the video. This saved me running another earth wire through the door grommets. The power feed comes directly through from the accessory power box in engine bay following the bonnet release cable. I mounted the unit to the inside of the drivers side kick panel there is plenty of room for all to fit and tuck wires neatly. A neat solution in the end and works brilliantly. Pro Tip - when wiring the indicator light feed I did not remove any of the dash. I prised hazard switch out with a hook tool. There was enough slack to access the back of the connector to join the wires. Using a coat hanger wire i taped my wires to I was able to feed the wires down behind the console below the steering wheel where I then routed them to the unit.

Wiring tip*** For those who have purchased the unit linked in the description and wired up like Patty has, and can't get it to work... try wiring in the yellow AND yellow/black wires from the remote control module to the earth as well. Mine wouldn't work without wiring them in as well.

[@richardwilliams8667]

I think this is my problem do these give you an earth switch effect as I’m not getting anything using the white and white /black feed wires. Do you swap to using the other sites not both?

[@dallasdawson3674]

Awesome, put the same unit in my 1994 GXL about 2 years ago and it has to be the best $20 you can spend.

[@morphshag]

you could connect the boot release to a cheap turbo timer and connect the output of the turbo timer to some lights so as you approach the car in the dark you can light it up and the light stay on for whatever length of time the TT is set to.

[@legsofsteel1]

What a great idea.

[@justarandomdude3102]

Alternatively, for vehicles that don't have power locks, you can get kits to do that or take all the OEM switches, actuators, etc, off of the same model with power locks, including the door harnesses. I'm getting a 92 Chevy 2500hd with all manual locks and windows. So I'm buying the switch panels new and taking everything else off of a truck that did come with the power option to convert to power windows and locks.

[@jesse199377]

Hey man just to let you know if you pull the steering wheel surround off and you can see the black plugs closer to the dash that go up to your highbeam switch and indicators as such those same colour wires can be picked up there to trigger the indicators also the kill switch stuff was probably an old immobiliser some had the ability to hook up to central locking in the car and it will just be a couple of cut wires on the back of the key barrel for starter motor and probably ignition that have been linked together to make the car run

[@Mrburns.youtube]

Good tut, cheers for the inspiration. For those planning to do this, don't forget the yellow wires! Wasted a good few hours scratching my head when I'd connected power, ground and signal with no joy. 🙄🤦‍♂️

[@Bennyboy-dog]

The best thing is if the $20 module should fail, the key still works, the door button still works! Best technology is redundant technology! Interested in hearing your thoughts on soldering over crimps. I reckon solder for "floating wiring" where the joint is not going to be subject to flexing and crimping for wiring to a fixed point where it will be subject to flexing.

[@ianwhitford3596]

I would only use crimp connections for marine and automotive work. I guess different Technical Colleges teach different methods.

[@AussieArvos]

Yeah it's a huge debate hahah! Gotta find out what NASA used in the space shuttle 😂

[@Bennyboy-dog]

@@ianwhitford3596 Yeah, I've heard the same, but I reckon AA has a point regarding soldering, just don't solder to a fixed point or you will get fatigue failures. The solder wicks up the multi-strand wire and makes it brittle, with time it will fail, but floating, no stress on the joint so will last a long, long time. There are great advantages to crimping, it literally fuses the connector and the wire strands without causing a fatigue sight. Problem is as AA pointed out, inexperienced hands will deliver a great proportion of failed crimps - the yank test is not always enough to work out if a crimp is good or not (It probably is) but just one in a dozen or so that isn't up to scratch and god help you find it. It will look perfect even though it has failed... so hard to spot.

[@bennyjahmin3953]

@@AussieArvos Don't look to NASA go straight to motor sport wiring if you want to end the debate. Open barrel crimps are the way to go. And butt splice crimps are my new favourite system for tapping into or butt joining small gauge wires. They do take a fair bit of trial and error and at the end of the day a poor solder join is better than a poor crimp.

I just had a thought for $20 I wonder how many unique channels the remote/unit has, more mean to say imagine if all your mates got this mod and where at camp and somehow 1 remote unlocked multiple cars who run this mod hahah. Devils advocate thoughts here there would also be the question of security the creator of the unit probably could have a way to unlock all these cars who run this mod. Overall great mod and the fact you went the extra way to get hazard wires to make it more factory feeling is awesome.

[@airselectricalcontractors842]

great video - my 80 series back seat passenger door wont open with the central key and boot never had it ????

[@fatmanoverlanding]

What perfect timing. My LC80 (also a GXL), has an aftermarket alarm (fitted to it some 26 years ago), and its remote receiver started playing up. It only works intermittently using the remote control fobs (x2) that came with it. I've replaced the batteries on both fobs, but I'm still getting the same issues. This narrows the issue to the receiver itself. So I haven't been using the remotes, and have been locking/unlocking my LC80 manually. This is perfect. But I wonder if wiring this eBay unit in my LC80 the same way as yours, will work as it has an alarm. Goodness only knows how the alarm's been wired etc. Another great DIY episode Pat. Great work. 👍

[@brucebaxter6923]

Yes. If you have drivers door open all doors the alarm will lock unlock doors. I replaced my receiver control unit yesterday in my gq. I replaced two motors at the same time. I paid $50 at jaycar instead as it was the same brand as the dead one.

[@fatmanoverlanding]

@@brucebaxter6923 Thanks. Mine is definitely the receiver of the alarm, as the central locking still works when manually locking/unlocking the vehicle. The unit just won't respond (for most of the time) when using either one of the remote key fob.

What have I done wrong as the 3/4 wires appear correct. How do you deal with negative switching?
