[jet_pilot]

ive got central locking in my vp and want to know if i can make it keyless
ive got a 1 button remote for my imobiliser
i know if i can do it i need a 2 button remote maybe some sort of recevier?
appreciate any help

[georgeonboost]

my vp had the one button remote and it was central locking. factory. is your immobiliser turned on from the passengers side door jam?

[jet_pilot]

yeah it is better then nothing for security my remote only work's once the key's in the ignition and have to use key to unlock the door's

[ratz26]

my immobilozer button on the box on ya keyring is stuffed... can ya just replace the box thingy on ya keyring?

Mongoose do replacements and repairs on"box thingy"

Jet pilot your battery in remote is probably flat take it to mongoose.

or just replace it yourself for a few bux?

[jet_pilot]

ok so the single button open's door's and work's for the immobiliser as well?
battery is easy to replace in those thing's cheer's mate

[jet_pilot]

i feel like an idiot now lol changed the battery and watta ya know keyless entry!

[azzfox]

so that "box thingy" opens the doors aswell? ours has never worked so I wouldnt know

[jet_pilot]

dont worry mate im still dancing around i thought i'd have to do some major wiring job but nooooo woohoo
i'd say take your's to a holden dealer if you want it to work wouldnt cost much i dont think hmmm but then again they charged me $85 for a vp liscense plate light when i wanted a vn item lol

[azzfox]

I found the remote, put a multimeter on the battery and reads 11.67v and then the button is pressed 11.58v so I dont think the battery is flat (yes it has a 12v battery in it). Is the red LED on the remote ment to flash rapidly when the button is pressed?

The cars not here at the moment to test again so will have to try later. Im not really fussed about it but would be nice if it worked.

[jet_pilot]

my light doesnt work i found out after i got out and was playing with the button and the door's locked i thought wtf your jocking so i had to do about 5 times lol

[azzfox]

ah well no luck for me. the light on the remote flashes but nothing happens. turned on the immobilizer in the door jam and still nothing (pretty sure it had to be on). just for the hell of it I tried to start the car with the immobilizer on to see what would happen and "PRESS REMOTE" appeared. I pressed the button on the remote and nothing happened either. maybe I was given the remote to a different car

[jet_pilot]

possible when you stick the key in before turning it then turn key it should start
yes you might have diffrent one i dont have the key for mine so its alway's on

[stockhorse]

If remote does not work properly you can get code from holden and mongoose can do the adjustment.
jet pilot you need overide key code from holden and to get overide key cut is $10 from nearly any locksmith.

[azzfox]

Just opened up the remote to have a close inspection and noticed something suspicious. I dont know if its ment to be like this but looks like someone has scratched through the tracks on the PCB. I should keep my eye out on ebay to see if I can get another one.

scratched areas on PCB


tracks visibly broken

i have never had a remote for my car, where do i go to get one of these and how do i set it to my vp exec. and what exactly dose that key hole in the passenger door jam do i herd if u lock it then lock your doors ure stuffed.

someone said go to mongoose, but I would like to know where the receiver is and if I can just swap the receiver to suit the remote???

the key hole in the passenger door jam is to arm the immobilizer. the doors still work fine with it on. your thinking of deadlocking the doors with the drivers door lock.

[stockhorse]

The receiver is passenger kick panel and is rivited in and hard to remove,a different receiver will cost lots more than new remote pad.
Sackvp that key activates the engine immobilisor and stops the motor being started with out the remote.

[tyrefryer]

this is my problem too, i changed my battery in the remote and it didnt help anything, i can get the locking to work but only once iv unlocked the doors and then i still have to stick the remote right up close to the radio area to make it work.
Also on a second thort it could be a bad signal coming from the remote and iv seen in dick smiths a remote that can tune to ur old one for $50, might be a good investment

[krazykarlnot]

My remote has the scratches as well and doesnt work the locks. Though my scratches are in different spots than azzfox's. Aswell my back door locks play up with central locking. It gives me the ****s when you have to keep checking them esp at night.
NEED this problem solved soon.

[jet_pilot]

yeah my back door's unlock but dont lock lmao

[Full Spectrum]

yeah my back door's unlock but dont lock lmao

You might need to get your hands in the door trims there and see if they need some lubricant..

My mums VP would open but then wouldn't lock the back doors or one usually, Got some spray a little bit of hand movement bend this and that straighten it up and they all work fine together now.. I did replace 2 motors also.
