[s-cars] Trouble Programming IR Remote

[David Forgie]

Michael and Tony: This summer I put a Right Click RF remote into my 94 V8 S4 avant that had come from the factory with central locking but no remote locking (key in the door only). I followed some of the previous 
diagrams but elimated the relays because I didn't think I needed them. http://forums.quattroworld.com/s4s6/msgs/322049.phtml 

One issue is One issue with the unit I have OR the way I installed it is IF I lock the car with the key, the alarm is NOT activated. Second part of that equation is if I lock the car with the remote, but open it with the 
door key, the alarm goes off until I press the RF remote unlock button. Might have been me or maybe it was the lack of relays. 

Michael: can you email me offline to discuss the use of /need for the relays?

Or, you could just ditch the miserable IR and go to aftermarket RF. As I recall, there are two wires going into the central locking module. They are brown and brown/white on my ’93. If you ground one of these, the doors lock, and if you ground the other, the doors unlock. There are many remote RF units on the market, and they are only $30 or $40. See Car Alarms and Security Systems on Ebay. I used a small Radio Shack relay to ground each of the wires, thereby isolating the car alarm from the action of needing to ground the wires. It’s been working spectacularly for years, and is operable from quite a distance. These alarm kits have all kinds of capability that you just don’t need to use, unless you want to. 
Good luck,
