Installing keyless entry in GQ

[chrisc2306]

Hi guys I bought a kit to install a keyless entry system into my 1990 Safari and just looking for advice that anyone who has done it can give. My truck already has central locking so I'm thinking of just hooking up the system to the drivers door is that what everyone else has done?

I'm keen to see what comes of this, take pics along the way I have a gu with central locking but not remote and am wanting to do the same thing to mine.

Yes that's all that needs to be done. Mine had remote locking in it when I bought it and they just added an actuator to the drivers door.

Here's a couple of photos of the kit and the wiring diagram that was included with it. I assume that it is number 2 wiring diagram that corresponds to the GQ

Very easy to do. Get ahold of some cable splices and a user manual so you splice into the correct coloured cable. The hazard button provides a source to splice into for the indicators and the plastic panel under the drivers door has a cable for the negative trigger when opening doors. Installing the actuator into the door isn't that hard either, just requires a little playing around. Get power straight from the battery and ignition from the ciggy lighter.

Awesome thanks. With it being a Safari mine is 24v so I'm just going to wire it to the convertor that I installed when putting in the stereo because its rated for 30A and I assume that the keyless entry won't use much power. Do you know which of the above diagrams correspond to the GQ?

Use number 2.

Use number 2.

Thats what I thought. Thanks for the help much appreciated!

My 2 middle door actuators are shot so am replacing the lot.
So my install is simple, just run the supplied loom..

Ordered the actuator for the drivers door but done the rest of the install today. Pretty straight forward with mine being a safari I got the 12v from my converter that I've installed but didn't bother tapping into the hazards because they are 24v so it wouldn't work. As for the wiring for anyone else that wants to do it in the drivers door there are 3 cables blue, purple and black cables blue to black opens the doors and purple to black locks them so I just used the system I bought and tapped into that. For anyone interested this is the system I bought http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/110953863...84.m1497.l2649
