I have a Octy MkI on a S plate, which came without remote locking, and after getting used to this on my old rover (on a M plate - i would expect a S plate Octy SLXi to be better equiped!) i was considering upgrading to a remote locking system, preferably on a VAG flip key. I have spoke to 2 garages and was told this is not an easy job. does anyone have any info that could help me out? many thanks.

You can get a kit on ebay only six wire to fit take about 2 hours to fit very easy to do. all fits under the front panel at fuse box

have you fitted this kit because i think i know which one you mean? does it actually work?

Yes i have fitted this to my skoda as i said about 2 hours to fit works a treat no probs
