wierd things happening with central locking now new stereo in

[stuart88]

as above really, i've fitted a new stereo to my lc fr and i'm a bit puzzled because now when i stop and take the key out it seems to take alot longer for the doors to open!

is there any other people with this problem and if so how is it resolved?

it must be a common thing as the first mod alot of people do is change the head unit.

let me know please guys

Shouldn't make any difference, how long are we talking?

 

[stuart88]

only a couple of seconds really,

my mates got a leon 1400cc and his is even worse! it locks and unlocks itself when he opens his door with the key out!!

i can't think what it could be really?

 

[LEE69]

I know mine isn't seconds, from memory (one of those things i have took for grated) it's instant.

 

[stuart88]

yeah mine was instant until i changed the stereo too, its annoying really cause when i stop i have to wait until i can get out of my car lol,

someone thinks there may be an adaptor or something but i'm not convinced

no adapter needed, the red and yellow get switched to retain the pre-sets on the radio.

 

[stuart88]

yeah i've retained the presets by doing that already, i'm just confused i can't believe that me and my mate seem to be the only people with this problem! lol

any help is muchly appreciated!!

Hi, I changed head unit in my audi a4 after which the alarm would randomly go off, very annoying! As soon as i put original back in problem stopped. Was told by a mechanic a lot of VAG/newer(ish) cars suffer strange problems with alarms/central locking etc just by changing HU!!??!!
Just bought Leon FR tdi 04 picking up 2moz! And really hope i can fit HU that screwed audi! lol

very strange... Havent heard of this before.

What stereo is it? Do you and your mate have the same one?

if its a cheapo headunit or the supplier has been lazy and fed the remote lead through the iso it can conflict with the cars alarm/central locking
