It wouldd seem after much researrch and many painful hours with my head under the dashboaard, I’ve
finally m
managed to retro‐fit remo
ote locking in
nto a Fabia w
with only gen
neric central locking.
As theree are no guid
des, I promiseed I’d make o e’s how I did it:
one. So here
PLEASE NOTE: THIS GUIDE IS FO

The kit u
used in this gguide was KEE60 from rclicck.co.uk. I de
ecided to usee this kit as itt provides 2xx folding
keys which house th he transpond
der from the existing key. If requested d, I will makee a separate guide
for key ttransferral.
Here is tthe relevant electrical diaagram
The first thing to do is to disassemble a few elements of the interior. You need to remove various
elements of the dash in order to get to some of the electrical areas.
First, pull the upper trim of the wheel towards you.
This will reveal a screw to the right. Remove it with a Torx 25 screwdriver. Under the dash are a
further 4 torx screws. Remove. Pop off the cover to the fuse box (on the right hand side of the dash),
to reveal the last screw. Remove.
Gently lower the lower panel, making sure you don’t pull any cables. Before entire removal, you
must open the small storage area and pull out where you will reveal a diagnostic socket. Push this
out. Also, you need to remove the aircon hose from this storage area, and release the headlight
cables. The trim is now free for you to put to one side.
Central locking in a Fabia is Negative Type 6. This means that the system relies on a single wire
opening and closing mechanism, taking voltage from a grounded source. There are 8/9 cables from
the provided loom that you have to connect. The easiest ones are the earth/live cables. The large
black cable needs to be earthed to the chassis, the best point I found is by the fuse box (see below)
You will need to splice two further cables into the earth (directly from the loom) to provide
grounded voltage to the OPEN/CLOSE cables. (Yellow & Yellow/Black).
Next, wire in the live cable. This is just above the ECU, and you need to just remove a faceplate
hiding the wires. I borrowed an image from DanGB, so thanks!
Next you need to splice the indicator lights into the loom coming off the ECU. Under the dash look
for XS6.
Typically, as with many VW based cars, pin 10 is Black/White and pin 12 is Black/Green, splice one
brown into each of these.
Finally, you need to wire into the existing door.
With your door open pull this hosing free (see below)
At the bottom you will see a white plug. This is where you need to wire the white/black and white
cables. First you must solder on a 180ohm resistor on the black and white cable. Then join (after the
resistor) the black and white cables together.
I soldered them onto a single white wire and fed it through the chassis out of a small hole (as per the
diagram above) and wired it into Pin 5 at the plug. The Yellow and Blue cable.
Put it all back together and you’re done! Easy!
FURTHER NOTES
• During my first attempt, there were a few small errors I made preventing the system from
working. The provided splicers didn’t seem to splice well enough on my first crimp. Make
sure they are pulled together with pliers and check there’s a +12V output from the yellow /
yellow/black once you have spliced them into the black.
• Make sure you wire into PIN 5 in the existing central locking. Yellow and Blue not Blue and
Yellow where Blue is predominant.
I hope this is of some use. Please ask if you have any questions.
