Hi,

I'm looking to change my manual locking to remote central locking on my 5dr. Any tips or advice on which is the best conversion kit to buy.

cheers

I've got the hawk remote central locking in mine. It works great for me, managed to hide all the cabling and the control unit so you wouldn't know it's there. The only downside is it doesn't flash or chirp when you lock/unlock, but I can live without that.

No corsa B's had remote central locking m8 so i dont think that wud work. unless you changed your lock barrels over from a corsa c or sumthin and got a new key. Im also very interested in this m8 as im thinkin of doing it as well. Ive seen some kits for about 40 quid that claim to be a universal fitment. Are threse likely to be any good or is it only worth getting decent and expensive kits?

no remote central on any B bar aftermarket, but they had central locking by turn of a key
