Universal car central locking kit with remote keyless entry
Add keyless entry to a car that never had it
Plenty of older vehicles on Australian roads still lock with a key in the door. This universal kit retrofits remote central locking, letting you secure and open the car from the included transmitters instead. Operating at 433.92MHz with a working range of roughly 60 to 80 metres, it also provides a flashing alert function that can help you spot where the car is parked, plus an LED indicator wired into the cabin. The universal design suits most cars running a 12V electrical system, drawing under 13mA in operation. Retrofitting also lifts everyday convenience in small ways, from loading groceries without fumbling for the door key to letting passengers in before you reach the car.
What comes in the box
The set includes a control box, two remote controllers, an LED connection wire, a main wiring loom and a user manual, which together form a complete four-door installation kit. The housing is black plastic and the whole package weighs about 240 grams, so it tucks away neatly behind a kick panel or under the dash. Two transmitters out of the box means both regular drivers get a remote from day one, with no extra purchase needed, and the manual steps through connection points for the installation. Everything needed for a standard four-door installation is in the one box, so there are no surprise trips to the parts store halfway through the job.
Pairing it with the right fob gear
A kit like this suits DIYers comfortable with vehicle wiring; anyone unsure should budget for an auto electrician to handle the install. If your car already has factory keyless entry and the problem is a dead transmitter instead, a model-specific replacement such as the Ford BA BF Falcon 4 button car remote or the Mazda 3 Mazda 6 MAZ24R smart proximity key is the cleaner fix. There is also a universal car central locking keyless entry switch kit if you want to compare configurations before committing. Either way, comparing the available kits side by side before purchase helps match the transmitter style and configuration to your vehicle and your budget.

Frequently asked questions
Will this central locking kit fit my car?
The kit uses a universal design intended to suit most vehicles with a 12V electrical system, which covers the vast majority of passenger cars. It is a four-door set built around a control box and wiring loom, so you or your installer should confirm your doors have, or can be fitted with, central locking actuators before installation begins.
What is the range of the keyless entry remotes?
The transmitters work at 433.92MHz with an effective range of about 60 to 80 metres in open conditions, so securing or opening the doors from across a car park is realistic. The kit also includes a flashing alert feature that helps you locate the vehicle, along with an LED indicator that shows the system is armed inside the cabin.
How many remotes are included and what else is in the package?
Two remote controllers come standard, so both regular drivers are covered immediately. The package also contains the control box, an LED connection wire, the main wiring loom and a user manual. Total package weight is approximately 240 grams, and the compact black control unit mounts out of sight behind the dash or a trim panel.
Can I install this keyless entry system myself?
Installation involves connecting the control box into the vehicle's 12V wiring and door locking circuits, following the supplied manual. Experienced DIYers with automotive wiring skills can handle it, but if relays, actuators and looms are unfamiliar territory, an auto electrician will fit it quickly and safely. Working current is low, under 13mA, so the system places minimal load on the battery.
