Hello,

I'm reading your topics for a while as a guest and now it's my time to post on this forum.
I'm requesting your advices to install an aftermarket keyless entry to my Omega, because I'm having problems with my keylock and I'm tired of wasting a couple of minutes every time I want to enter my car.
The problem is that I don't know where to connect the alarm "brain".
Can someone help me by replying the wire colours of the central locking and the location where I should do these splices?
If I'm not wrong, the splicing should be made near the central locking module. One more thing, where is this module located?
I want to mention that my car is LHD.
I'm looking forward for your help.

Meny thanks in advance,
George

Agreed. Probably just need the switches in the keyfob changed and it'll work better than an aftermarket system.

Hi all, thank you very much for your replyes, and sorry for my late reply but I had some trouble with my car because someone crashed it when I was passing a junction. He turned left without assuring that there is no one on the other way. The good part is that tonight I'll get it painted at the service.

Well... the ideea is that all I have on my car is the central locking and no remote, just the key.
Why I don't want an original keyless entry is because I couldn't find it elsewhere in Romania excepting the Dealer and the price there is very high. And the second reason why I'd like to install an aftermarket system is because my brother already bought me one kit for my birthday because he knew how much I wanted one. If you can understand me ;)

So, I'll really appreciate your help if you can assist me installing this keyless entry.

Thanks,
George

Hello again!

Well, another week passed and I'm still trying to figure out which wire is which.
I don't know if I'm wrong or not, but untill now I found that grounding the brown/white wire will unlock the doors and grounding the brown/red will lock them.
Hope this infos will help others in my situation and I will come back with a reply as soon as I'll find what are the other wire colours necesary for installing the aftermarket central locking kit.

The problem is that the Omega locking motors are a little more complex to drive than standard locking motors due to the deadlocking function. For this reason I think you'll struggle to get an aftermarket system to drive the motors directly. It sounds like you have found inputs to the standard alarm / locking ECU which do what you want, though, so that's probably the best solution.

I would expect the alarm to arm whenever you lock the doors, if fitted, however, and that can only be disarmed again using the original keyfob remote.

I have fitted aftermarket security system long time ago for my omega. I fitted it on top of original central locking control unit (CLC). I have connected all wires to CLC wiring. Can't remember exactly, but will try to help you:
Ground - Brown
Positive (12V) - Red
Turn signals - Black/Green and Black/White
Unlock signal - Brown/White (bee careful, there is more than one wire with brown/white color)
Lock signal - Brown/Red

If you need any more information just ask  :y

Forgot to mention: open doors signal (negative) - also brown/white (you have to find it as there are few brown/white wires, this wire gives short to ground when doors are open)
If you need this signal only from driver doors i think it will be brown/yellow, but also be careful, there are few of same color wires.
