DIY: Remote Electronic Locks for $25
First the kit: It is called Omega REC-43T Keyless Entry System, and you can get it off ebay. I got it from a guy called tintnelectronics. Good guy, shipped quick.
Basically this a radio frequency programable clicker. You can use this to open your car, your garage, trigger any electronically controlled device. There is nothing that makes this kit "car" specific.
First impression - Chinese quality box, but the clickers and the box feel solid. Seem to made pretty well, only time will tell. The provided instruction are good, in grammatically correct English, and all in all provide us with a good idea of how to start. Having a voltmeter helps, or you can just fallow my wire guide.
1. Remove the trunk lining between tail lights
(I dont have it in anyway so I didnt show how to do this)
These are the wires we are looking for.
2. Disconnect your battery - we will be dealing with hot wires - since the system continuously draws power - so disconnect at the source.
3. The kit comes with two bundles - here is what the basic wires will look like
4Wire bundle
OMEGA wire Color ----Car functions----Car wire color
Red ------------------+12V------------Red (antenna wire)
Black ----------------Ground-----------brown (bunch at trunk lock)
Green ------------Output 3-----------not used
Blue --------------output 4------------not used
2 Wire bundle
Green -----------Lock-------------Green and black stripe
Blue--------------unlock----------green with purple stripe
4.Our hot wire for constant 12V
5.bundle that runs to trunk lock
6.double sided tape on back of main box for attachment
7.soldering in power wire
8.box mounted
9.ground wire soldered in
10.all wires soldered in
11.and clean it up
12. Reconnect your battery - or else nothing will work.
Optional: The stock antenna is pretty short and since I cut off the extra lengths of wire anyways as I was installing it I decided to use them to extend th antenna. I then rn it around the edge of the trunk and up underneath the speaker tray area - range is good.
Done:
Locks in work:
NOTE: to get no delay you need to turn the delay dial on teh board all the way counter clockwise and then click channels 1 and 2 down to the (-) notch. That smoothed out operation a lot for me.
