Hey all,

Did the Type S come with remote central locking?

When i bought the car i wasn't given a fob. When i open/close the drivers door with the key, both doors open/unlock.

So i am guessing that if i managed to get hold of a fob, could i get it re-programmed or something to my car

Just an idea but it maybe better to just fit an aftermarket thatcham cat 1 alarm/immobiliser. You can link them up to your central locking to work off the fob plus you get extra security and it might bring your insurance down

What's actually involved in installing oem remote locking? If its just a case of plugging in wires, I have all the stuff on my prelude I'm breaking.

I will be doing that, just doing this as a short term fix

Hoping someone has the answers to this

Optional extra. Mine is a Sigma aftermarket remote locking.

That weighs too much.

Aftermarket is lighter.

Hmmm, it was just a whim

Need to get the finger out and get the alarm sorted then

I fitted an aftermarket remote locking kit on my 5th gen. It already had central locking on the key so all motors etc were already there. The aftermarket kit was simply a receiver / controller, fobs and an led that flashes while the car is locked. With that in mind, I think it would be easy to fit an oem version - though don't actually know as not looked at wiring diagrams for a while.

I have a thatcham cat 1 toad alarm and mobilizer on mine. Plus i was given the standard fob. Never actually tried the standard one tbh. Never looked at wires either.
