Remote central locking
Hello, does anyone have experience with any remote central locking solution?
There's a few on eBay:

Work? Any good? One better than the other?
Thanks!

I recently installed a Mongoose MCL2000. Very happy with the quality.

Thanks, looks solid, but can't find them distributed in the US. Mongoose here is bicycles
Any other recommendation?

Re: Remote central locking
I tried last week, no reply
I might go cheap chinese and see whether that works. Worst case scenario is I just throw $25 away...

Re: Remote central locking
I'm sure they work but to me, peace of mind is paramount when you need to get in your car

Re: Remote central locking
I am sure they work for a few days or weeks... but how quickly they stop working, that's what I am wondering about! I would not mind the higher price of quality, it just looks like there may be no choice for me here.

Re: Remote central locking
I had kept an eBay listing on my watched list for month. It was a remote start/central locking unit from J.C.Whitney, but it was perpetually out of stock. I finally gave up on it and deleted it from my list. IF it ever came back in stock, it was less than $50 and worked well according to a couple guys here that used it.

Re: Remote central locking
Thank you, that's one of the options I was looking at, I'll go with it. Did you encounter any complexity installing it?
