Renard, Actually there is a way to connect to the OEM vacuum pump on the VW's to actuate the power door locks remotely. It involves cutting the trigger leads and (I believe) sending a positive pulse to go one way and a ground to go the other. I would have to check my notes to see how exactly I did this in years past when I owned a stereo/alarm shop if anyone is interested. My 87 GTI doesn't have the factory locks so I did what you did; added a solenoid in the drivers door. I had to cut some metal up high by the plunger to gain access. To suppress your chirp eithe the alarm has the programming to do this or you need to put a time delay in the lead going to the siren trigger lead. My Ungo is programmable to bypass the chirp. Have fun! James Blumenfeld 87 GTI

Just finished up wiring up the keyless entry function of the alarm on my GLi. Ahhh, the simple pleasures in life!! Works like a champ. Lesson learned-- DO NOT attempt to patch into the wiring for the power lock system directly from the alarm. I tried this and fried my vacuum pump. An electric actuator at the driver's door lock is definitely the only way to go :-). Now, my only issue is I some how disabled the arm/disarm chirp function ;-). Anyway...if anyone needs any help w/doing this in the future, I'm more than willing to pass long my experiences. Later...
