Remote lazy locking / venting.
An idea occurred to me as a result of reading another thread and I'd like to ask the elctrickery gurus their opinion.
Lazy locking / venting is initiated by turning and holding the key in the driver's door lock until the windows are in the required position. My idea is that one of those "key-fob" receivers, available on fleabay, could be wired in parallel to the door lock switch, thereby enabling the lazy locking / venting to be done remotely. (It's SO uncool to have to use the key ;) ). The kits I've seen on fleabay can be setup to send either a latch, momentary or press and hold signal. So, is it an option?...or a pipe-dream? Comments please? |

sounds fun.. reckon you/I/we , need to know a few sneaky details about things in this area work, it shouldn't be too advanced its only a car !!. As you all ready have your key remote operating the locks, could this not action be used to trigger something, a relay, or timed relay or summit!!! to close the windows without an extra key fob. Do the windows have anything monitoring the opening and closing , limits switches etc, or is that already too advanced ..? we may only need to emulate the key switch for a finite time and its done ? Well thats Plan A again. Reckon you & I might have too much time on our hands :D, my excuse is ....... I might build a Patio, but ..I just DON'T do gardening :D:D:D, . thinking caps on .. Chris PS Just found this ?? an adjustable timer relay, only 7amp, ?. http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...a170ddfe19.jpg |

Well... I just cannot see a wiring diagram in RAVE for the driver's door lock barrel / central locking. Can anybody point me in the right direction please? |

re wiring: I suspect you will need to "break-open" the lock mechanism to get direct access to the switch you operate when using the key in the lock - you can than just shunt the relay terminals across that. |

signal.. and it could be accessed by a wire break in ? well thats my feeble logic ??? ;) C. |

Anyway. On with the motley. THIS is what I just bought to play around with :) I might not be able to drive VeeKay but that doesn't mean I can't experiment. One channel for the lazy lock / vent, one channel for the boot lid release. Now, what to do with the other two channels? |

One could always go straight to the window controls I suppose.
