“The instructions are completely inadequate, the English version of the instructions include an image detailed in German. This set includes cables for 4 door actuators, 1 boot actuator and a LED interior light(pink). There is only two actuators for the doors in this set.One of the most challenging aspect of the install has been to channel the cabling through to the passenger side door. After a few hours of battling with the blower I poked a hanger through from the door side to retrieve the cabling. The instructions suggest a gap of 55mm between the top of the cutout in the door and the sheet of metal to support the actuator. Even after bending the rod horizontal, too much force was not being directed in the direction of the lock. I have move it higher up to create more linear movement but I am still playing around to get it right.”

“Contrary to the statement "Supplied with two door lock actuators, control relay, two remotes, wiring harness and all the required fittings and instructions." the kit does not come with any fitting instructions or all the fittings. At least it does include a circuit diagram, but it isn't really helpful.You will need:Additional electrical connectors and scotchlocks Cable ties, Electrical tape/Heat shrinkPossibly Red & Black cable, dependant on how you choose to wire itPossibly an extra bracket per side, dependant on how you choose to mount the actuatorA selection of Nuts,bolts and washers of an appropriate size.Lots of patience.I also found that there was too much 'flex' in the relatively thin push rods that were supplied, so when attempting to lock or unlock the doors, the actuators worked fine, but couldn't quite overcome the resistance of the locking mechanism. I had to switch them with a stiffer, more robust rod.After a long day, the central locking works like a dream. So I am pleased. But it took more planning than I anticipated and I was lucky that I have a garage that is fully stoked with tools and fittings etc. To Reiterate....the kit DOES NOT come with any fitting instructions or all the fittings.”
