Well, froze my b#####ks off this weekend fitting the Autowindows Reflex model, but you know how it is, you have it delivered and you have to fit it.

Took me about three hours to do, and its a must for people that like gizmos, as always makes me smile seeing the mirrors fold in and out , and being able to put the windows down remotely will be great for the summer, and vice versa, having the windows automatically close, gives you a full closure alarm.

Scott at Autowindows is a fab guy, e-mailed me straight back with the only query I had, as one wire is tricky and as I had delocked my car, the only way to check the correct wire was to put your key in the lock and unlock, then you get a pulse, but he sorted out a different way - TOP BLOKE!!!

So if anyone has any doubts - nahhh - go on do it - you know you want to

Have placed a link below if anyone is interested:-

The White wire was a little bit of pain, as couldn't find the yellow with grey trace, and couldn't do the check with de-locking, but Scott quickly sorted me out, and it ended up being a Yellow wire with the littlest bit of green trace ever!!!

Also, the W8 light went straight in, as it had the plug ready, so thanks again Tom

No problems. Hope the wire was long enough to connect to the ignition live.
Left the wire on that I had on mine.

Out of interest, does yours have the annoying 'feature' of two clicks to open all the doors and the windows go down??!>...

The wire was ample long enough, as i have wires for the gauges on the A-pillar, so not a problem.

As for the double clicks - yep, all of them do this if setup to unlock drivers on one, the rest on two, as spoke to Scott about this, and what you do is one click, let the mirrors start to unfold, then do the two clicks, a little bit of a pain, but soon get used to it i suppose, not worth not doing it though!

I'm looking at fitting a Clifford SOLARIS 5 in my new car.
It has anti-carjacking and remote start, and also a turbo timer can be linked in.

But is it right that when you install remote start you lose the Cat 1 status??

As far as I was aware if you install the remote start you loose the cat 1 status.

Might be worth checking

I thought if u had engine start you lose it as well, guy who fitted my old alarm said its not really worth getting, as cool as it is they can just void ur insurance. Best checking tho as scottc said, dont hold me to anything!

Just get hold of vag-com and disable the "two click unlock" thing. I did this as soon as i fitted my reflex module, now its a piece of the piddle variety to use...

Thought of doing this, but prefer to have the lock setup as it is, only unlocking the drivers door.

About 3 hours in all, including getting out all the tools, relising you forgot to get one, and trailing back into the shed, making cups of tea, and having fingers like icicles!!!

Well worth it though
