Remote Central Locking

[Tdci_boy]

One of My customers has a Connect that he bought second hand, it has central locking but no remote fob, should it have one, can I programe one to work or will it need to go to the stealers.

Hi all connects have central locking, but some are made that they cannot have a remote they are know as a 'lead in' model. You are best to check with Ford if it can take a remote or not, they should be able to tell you free of charge.

That's brilliant thanks for that, my dealer is a good one so I'll ask & tell my customer the results

Isn't there a simple test with the key to establish whether your connect has the remote module? Something like switching the ignition on/off 8 times. I'm sure I read it here somewhere as my connect didn't come with a fob.

Yes thats right.
Mine didnt have a remote fob so I got one off ebay for £18, a genuine one brand new.
Just put your key in the ignition, turn it from position 1 to position 2 and back 8 times.
If your van is capable of having a remote fob all the locks will cycle through a sequence.
If you had a working fob, then you just press any button on it and it syncronises with your locking system and thats it job done.
If you want to know before buying a fob then just do the key turning thing. If the locks cycle then you have it!
nothing will be reset so dont worry.
Hope this helps, Dave
