Hi,
At first I would like to say, I'm a newbie in all these var security systems but I promised to my self I will instal the *uking car alarm system.

So, I uploaded my car alarm system - which I need only for door lock and unlock - that's all, because for my VW polo is only key.

I deeply hope that someone will help to install these alaram, so basic info about car :
* VW polo - 2002 - 1.4 TDI
And yeah, I searched in this forum for Polo 2002 wiring diagram but I didn't find !

Look at the driver's floor loom, something like WHITE/ green and WHITE/ red, years since I did one, type 3 pos trigger, also in that loom if light is present, in the rear hatch, thin yellow black, trunk/hatch trigger, BROWN / white (one of 2, test) all door trigger, black for ignition, brown for ground (earth) BLACK/ white left and BLACK/ green right indicators. The red in that loom will also give you your 12v+ power supply.
That alarm looks really cheap and nasty.
Don't attempt anything from the left hand side, something like 32 screws to get the glove box out.

Thanks, for you reply :)

Yes, it's cheap, I bought it only for $20, because I just need remote for doors !

So all day I was messing around with my Polo and yes I found there 3 wiring , but I can't understand what I need to do , there are 5 wires from my cheap/nasty alarm system.

What should I do with these 5 wires ?

Yellow and yellow/black to 12v+ constant (RED).
White to lock or unlock, WHITE/ black to lock or unlock (on, off? don't make me laugh).
Other two don't use. Even at £20 you're throwing your money away on that POS.

I feel stupid, but I connected red wire with yellow / YELLOW black, and black with ground , when I press unlock/lock button from remote,It sounded like it works, but I can no find door lock/unlock wires, I cut and tested all wires - which I saw, but no results, disappointment !

Where could be door lock/unlock wires ?

Hi,

I'm back, with few question, so a tried to find these two wires, whit/red, and WHITE/ green, after 10min. I found them, but seems they are not what I need, no success. So I took a photo of these wires

Maybe these door lock/unlock wires are in the drivers door loom ?

No, driver's FLOOR loom. If you pick them up in the door loom you will only operate the driver's door.

Look to the left in that picture, that's the loom, follow it down to just in front of the driver's chair where you can pull it up to extract it. Open it (fan out the wires) and I'll point them out to you.

In your picture, the one in your hand is one, the other lurking there is I think the grey/white or WHITE/ grey.
also in that loom, BROWN / white, one of two, all door trigger, if you have a light in the hatch the trigger is a thin yellow black and your two indicator wires, BLACK/ white and BLACK/ green also. Any plain brown is your ground (earth or 0v) and any plain red your 12v+ supply, plain black your ignition.

Fine this is what you do:-
Throw away the alarm because that Chinese POS won't work any way.
Contact a proper installer such as myself if you are in the London area to have a decent (not expensive) unit fitted that will also give you window close.
N.B. To test the lock/unlock wires, any open door must have it's catch thrown over and the ignition key removed.
