A Guide on installing your own remote central locking in under 20 minutes

Note this is for replacing the defunked genuine Ni$$san unit with a Warlock KG400 kit.
This was all done on my 2001 GUII, 3.0ltr. Different models and engines may differ.

All was done directly where the original wireless remote controller sits. Under the LHS of the dash, to the right of the glove box.
No need to run any other wire to anywhere else. Also the locks are positive triggered too. The kit I bought, and assuming all are like this, has the wiring for both positive and negative triggers.
So the coloured wires to look out for are :

• Indicator output : Green/ Red
• Indicator output : Green / Yellow
• 12V feed : White / Red (Thicker wire than the others)
• Door Lock output : Light Blue (Thicker wire than the others)
• Door Unlock output : Light Blue / Red (Thicker wire than the others)

The kit you buy will have instructions telling you what their wires are for so that part is real easy. It was working it out on the truck end, but I got it and it works a treat.
So all can be done and installed in the one spot and after I worked out the wiring, you could do this in under 20minutes, easy.
Now I just have to figure out how to learn the spare remote. The instructions I have are in Klingon I reckon.
Hope this helps anyone.
All I want to do now is work out what I can use the trunk release button for. Remote switching flood lamps maybe?

Sweet, mine is munted so I will be needing to change it soon.....after September that is. What brand did you get and where from?

I bought my kit from JB Hi-Fi. Was $95 but the Jaycar kits looked rubbish and I didn't like the remotes they had. I saw a few on Ebay but I wanted to get one local and straight away. I have a bad habit of not waiting for things when I decide I want them...
But seriously it was real easy to do. I just used the Wire taps : http://www.narva.com.au/products/bro...inerswire-taps to tap into the line.
Once I do the extra glove box mod I will solder the wires in. It was a little tight up there to get my iron in....

Sweet. My Bro is a JB Manager. I will go visit him soon. Should stay away from wire taps, they tend to catch fire in my experience. I think I will solder them straight up.

It was the Warlock KG400 it got too. And yeah the wire taps will be replaced by soldering. I will do this when I do the glove box mod as I'll have everything out then so more room.

i own an 08 dx no keyless standard but accutors are there will the wiring be there?

You will have to confirm will other on this one. Because if you don't already have keyless the way I did it you can't. As I basically removed the ni$$an control module and wired in the after market one. BUT. You may have the wiring going up under the dash already there for it. As I do notice, well on my ST atleast that there is plugs all over the car that are unused. Like for cruise control or added extra's one would get in a top model. The wiring is the same for all they just don't plug the goodies into it.
Might be worth checking out.

thanks! thought it should be there! atleast i know where to look for it?

the wiring is there but some of the wires are different colour (the output wires)

Indicator output you mean? If so, use a test test to find which wire is for left and right indicators. Or if its the door lock outputs, you should, I mean should be able to still use a test test on each wire, lock the door and fire the wire that way?? I don't know if you can feed it 12v and see if it locks as you might hit the wrong wire and do damage...
I am just pulling at strings here now as the wires are different colour. Can't see why they would be though...

Just picked one up JBs this weekend $69.00 will have a go Will try to add photos thanks mudski

Interesting thread!!!! I await patiently for more info..... :-)

What info do you need mate?



I tapped that app...

Ok Its all done will add photos soon. Thanks mudski works fine. question did you remove the old plug?

Looking for a little assistance I thought I followed all the instructions but it not working so I am scratching my head....

This is a warlock kg800

Photos for alarm and my wiring as it is currently...Attachment 29814Attachment 29815Attachment 29816

Any assistance would be appreciated

Hmm, same but different to the KG400 model I have. Have you tried the other trigger wires for the lock/unlock? By memory there is positive and negative activation wires to chose from in the Warlock kit. You may have the wrong set of trigger wires???

I know this is an old thread but wanted to say thanks to mudski and just add something extra.
I installed my alarm/central locking yesterday and on the same clip as described above I needed to wire in the 12v ignition accessory and dome lighting to stop the auto lock after 30 seconds if a door wasnt opened or car started.

The small plain blue wire is the 12v accessory and the red with black stripe is the door light switch wire (which is negatively switched).

I was unlucky enough to not have an actuator in the drivers door so had to wire one in and set it up as (+/-)

Happy to answer any other questions people have with installation of an alarm

Thanks to everyone that's made a contribution here. First post, so be kind please. I've run into a bit of an issue with the keyless remotes too, and in searching the web found this thread. I bought a Warlock KG-400 ($78.00 at JB HiFi), and I'm now doing the wiring. The keyless remote module was pretty easy to find with your instructions. Under the dash above the glove box. Remove the glove box and it's pretty easy to see. (IMG_1250). I found the wiring block, and the wiring codes match what was explained on here. The trouble is we're multiple choice on the Warlock side (IMG_002a). From what I can work out, the wiring is:
Patrol Indicator output : Green/ Red = Warlock brown
Patrol Indicator output : Green / Yellow = Warlock brown (there are two browns)
Patrol 12V feed : White / Red (Thicker wire than the others) = Warlock Red
Patrol Door Lock output : Light Blue (Thicker wire than the others) = Warlock (Multiple choice)
Patrol Door Unlock output : Light Blue / Red (Thicker wire than the others) = Warlock (Multiple choice)
I'll earth the Warlock Black to be sure

So the questions are:

Do we take the Patrol indicator outputs to each of the Warlock browns?
How do we wire the multiple choices?

Thanks in advance
Mark

Hi Mark
Doesnt matter which brown goes to which as you will have all indicators going at the same time anyway so one brown to each indicator wire
With your door unlocks you will need positive triggers so your wiring should be
Orange&orange/black not connected
Yellow&yellow/black connect to 12V+
White Lock connect to Thick blue
White/black unlock connect to thick blue/red

Thank you very much, I'll wire it now.
Mark

OK Wired as above. How do we now get the remotes to work. There's three buttons on the remote. How do we get it the remotes and the main unit talking to each other? I've got power in the remotes (coloured LED's flash). Thanks again in advance.
Mark

there should be a learning button on the receiver module

They should work out of the box. Mine did. But there is a learn button on teh module I think. If nothing happens when you press the button, maybe you have it wired incorrectly. Maybe.

Sorry. I've been a way a bit, and just getting back to this. Looks like I've got to look at the wiring again. I found what should be the learning button on the module. The wiring may be different, even though the wiring colours appeared to be right. Mine's a 2005 4.8 petrol on gas.
Mark

OK. All working now. The wiring for a 2005 4.8 litre Patrol is as above, plus the Orange and Orange/Black go to ground.
Mark

thanks for this mark, ill be having a go later today!!! cheers for all the info!

Bit of a thread dig here but when replacing the module did you remove the old unit completely or still need some of the wires connected to that particular unit? Hopefully attempting it this weekend

i ditched mine completely mate, havent looked back! sooooo much better!

About to start this but wanting to test that these wires are getting the signals needed. Would a test light on the lock and unlock signal wires as I lock/unlock the car with key show positive power through it?

Couldn't get the SCA kit to work, luckily I tested it before cutting into it's loom so returned it and got a 9500 winch instead

i wasted some $$$ on a jaycar job before i went to jbhifi like mudski suggested in the first place and bought him one lol. do yourself a favour and get one of thsoe instead.

Yep the Warlock kit is great value. I've have had it in there maybe two years? Or roughly when i made this thread, and the remote still works.

Having a little trouble trying to fit steel mate alarm into 2002 gu.
My oem remote system was working fine but wanting to add the alarm.
And utilize the existing wiring for the central lock side of things.

going buy the wires feeding to oem central lock remote unit top right behind glove box, colours are the same as previously described.
oem plug
white = 12v pos,
2xgreen =2x indicators,
2xblue = 2xactuators.

steelmate
2x yellow =12v pos
2x brown = indicators
white and white/black = actuators.
Iv'e hooked up for pos actuators and not the neg ones.
obviously power & earth are connected.

The drivers door is a master right?
and the oem remote plug is connected to it, why would't it be!

press new remote lock/unlock and blinkers flash= working.
test light is showing white wires are active BUT
the lock/unlock actuators wont activate in either direction.
Nothing is happening!
put the oem remote back in, works just fine.
think I have a dud steel mate alarm.
thankfully I hadn't hook up all the other functions for the alarm, ignition cut etc as it appears that may of been a waste of time.
any one have any ideas?????

The drivers door is the master....
As for the trigger wires. Try the neg triggers. It might be different for your model car and kit.

I have a warlock ac100 system but with just one central popper, the young bloke got it on special for $28 😳 it's been in for a while and now it's stopped working so I will change it out for a new one as I have three spares. The unit tries to move and clicks but won't open so I will change it so hopefully it works.

I'll check the output of oem unit asap.
steel mate kit can be either pos or neg.

was just going by pos being the way things were, see soon.

Hi All,

Bit of a thread dig I know but Im about to embark on same project. I have pictures below of my alarm wiring, and they way I THINK I should wire it. My questions are:

Does the wiring diagram look ok?
Should there be an earth for the door lock actuators?

Thanks in advance.

What kind of unit are you using. I really need to pull my finger out and do this...
