Trailbear Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Gents I have just purchased a 2014 110 CSW in fairly basic configuration. The vehicle has the winter pack i.e heated windscreen and seats and pretty much nowt else. Now I am aware that there are after market fitments and also Landrovers own option if need be so not the question of can I fit or what kit should I use. I have searched the forum ( I think ) and can’t find the answer I am looking for. I have been told conflicting information from a few sources ( Those who deal in Landrovers etc ) that it is not possible to integrate the central locking into the vehicles own alarm / immobiliser due to,the fact that I have the later type alarm / immobiliser system ( Fords own I am informed not the 10as ) fitted from 2014 to 2016. And there again I have been told by another Landrover Specialist that they will fit the central locking and thereafter take the vehicle to their local Landrover dealership who will flash the ECU - Alarm/ Immobiliser unit with the correct patch with everything thereafter working as it would have been as a factory fitted option. To say that I am now confused is an understatement. Has anyone experienced this issues or could possibly add any advice. I have owned Landrovers for years in different shapes and forms but this is my first foray in Puma / Defender ownership. I am aware that Landrover factory builds were erratic at best and things were added / deleted with abandon, often with parts / wiring options fitted to the vehicle that were not connected and left tucked away. Any advice or assistance would be gratefully appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) I believe the alarm ECU needs to be “told” that central locking has been added. So after fitting the kit you’d need to get it reprogrammed. l wouldn’t bother with CL on a 90, but on the 110 it’s worthwhile making the effort to fit it.

Trailbear Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 This was what I was hoping would be the case but so far no one seems to be able to confirm it. I have a Landrover dealership not 5 miles away from me, unfortunately with the current situation, I cannot even get to ask the question. They are still working, albeit behind closed doors, However, having tried to speak to them, I am asked if I am an essential worker then they hang up the phone. Only want confirmation either way. In the grand scheme of things I realise that it isn’t that important just now ( and I fully appreciate and understand ) so I shall just have to wait!

landroversforever Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Ian at IRB Developments would be a good one to speak to. Or Dan at Pace Automotive. Both are experienced in all things defender. I know Ian for example has done a lot of work to make the standard imobilisers far more secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landy7 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I'm fitting the hawk central locking kit in my 110 Puma as we speak, 2 doors done, 3 to go Good and cheap solution if you want to install it yourself. It's a 2008 Puma so can't really help with the integration of the alarm.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailbear Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Yes, had looked at that kit and if all else fails and I can’t do what I would like to do then that kit is certainly an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
