Hi all I was looking at buying an alarm that has remotes for keyless entry.
I looked at one on ebay and was not sure if it would work the central locking on my car.

This was the reply I got back from the Seller.
Hi, mate

Does your car have oem central lock module? If your car is running positive central locking system and no central lock module available, you need to add central lock module for it which is not included in this package. Thanks.

I have a 1991 TR SE Magna. Does anyone know if this car has what the above is talking about?????.
Thanks.....................

My opinion only, but I've fitted a few of these to my kids' cars over the years....pulled a few out as well. You only need it to go off twice unintentionally for you to want to rip it out! The way I look at it now is that I get my kids to install kill or hidden switches which either prevent the fuel pump from working or short out a critical component. This simplifies things as you only need to cut one wire and put a switch into the circuit...less to go wrong. Your car is also a '91 model and it will be a 'joy-rider' probably that would try to steal your car...not that it ain't your pride and joy!

Thanks for the reply.
This is a car I brought for my 16 year old daughter to have as her first car. I have spent money on it, and I have done a lot of work to it myself to "try" and make it a nice first car.
We use a steering lock to try and help. Yes it will only be a joy rider, no one is going to steel it for parts,,,,But these days there is lots of joy riders out there.
