Anyone for the Global Opening/Closing Mod?

Hi All,
 
I'm interested in fitting Steve Collister's global opening/closing mod - see http://forum.fordscorpio.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Problems;actio n=display;num=1080522044;start=0 for some details (and yes, everyone got sorted out in the end - that bit got wiped out by the hurricane!).
 
Before I contact Steve can anyone who wants one please reply here so we can give him an idea of numbers (this will let him build a batch of them rather than doing it in dribs and drabs).
 
Cheers,
Dave

Good news, Steve is willing to make some more but would naturally prefer to do a batch rather than the odd one here and there.
 
Here's more definitive info:
 
"It is available ready built and tested for £65. P&P to uk is included. (Europe P&P + £5)  
Postage is 1st class signed for and insured in UK.  
Or for europe I use Airmail + International signed for service + Extra insurance to cover full price of unit.  
 
It is quite easy to fit and will add the following features to your car.
 
1. Flash indicators on lock / unlock.
2. Sound a buzzer on lock / unlock.
3. Activate global closing when car is deadlocked - so you will never forget to close a window or sunroof.
4. Activate global opening if you unlock the car twice in 15 seconds. I.E. on a hot day unlock your car, lock then unlock again and all windows and sunroof will open.
5. Auto door locking feature - when you drive off after about 20 yards all your doors will lock - prevents getting carjacked or robbed at the  traffic lights.
 
Full easy to follow instructions are included and a test bulb and test procedure to follow to ensure you have connected all wiring correctly.
Also a video clip on cd to watch showing me doing an installation.
 
Also wiring connectors are included.
 
I am available to be contacted via telephone if you have any problems fitting the unit.
 
Payment can be made by direct credit transfer to my bank account, Paypal, or cheque / P.O."
 
Let's give everyone a week to think about it and, hopefully, there'll be a few of us lining up by then
 
Cheers,
Dave

Dunno..I'm not sure I can fit it as I have an aftermarket Scorpion alarm which locks the doors and sets the bells, I don't use the Ford system although I do have the global closing.
 
Anyway. my better half has an Orion with a Toad alarm which locks the doors after a short time once the keys are in and it is very bleedin' annoying.... you can not sit and tick over waiting for someone, without the central locking deciding to locking the flippin doors!! You have to reach over and use the passenger door handle to unlock, if you use the drivers door to do it the stupid system won't let you out that door till it's been locked and unlocked by the remote.... aarrrghh!!
 
You then open the doors using the passenger side handle and after a while it decides to lock you in again.
 
Just pee's me off a bit... Angry
 
If I want the doors locked I'll push the handle at my side an it's done..... don't really want or need to be locked in automatically... sorry  Embarassed
 
Just my opinion though....

If you were to have this mod, but you didn't want the "Lock-on-go" feature, all you'd have to do is not connect the one wire which controls it. It connects to the VSS.
So... its easy to disable any feautres you don't want.

also just to add to what paul has correctly stated,with this mod,the doors lock at a pre determined speed (approx 20 MPH),not after a certain time,so the car can be left ticking over to ETC....

Hi dexix,
 
The bit in quotes in my second entry on this thread is a direct quote from Steve and covers how he would like payment etc.  
 
I could maybe have made that a bit clearer. All the transactions will be direct with Steve, once we can tell him how many of us would like one then we can get things going.
 
Personally, I can't wait  Grin Grin Grin

wumpster,
 
You can replace the door modules with newer ones (from a scrappy or find someone who's breaking a later model). Make sure you get the right part numbers though (haven't got them to hand right now).
 
It's a fairly simple job to do (well, if I can do it... Wink )
 
That will then give you global opening/closing on the windows only. Not sure what the situation is with the sunroof - I'm trying to get hold of a sunroof motor that is compatible with global opening/closing to see if fitting that works. If I can find one cheap enough then it seems worth giving it a go - otherwise global opening/closing with just the windows will have to do + with all the other things the mod does I'll still be a happy bunny.

It might not be a problem.
Steve fitted mine in march 2003,all I wanted was an audible and flashing lights to know when the alarm was switched on/off.
When steve tried the key for global closing it did not work,but I was not bothered as this was just an extra feature.
But when he had finished all the features worked,inc global closing from the remote.
 
And its brill,

Joe,
 
That's very interesting! Does your sunroof open/close as well?
 
Does global opening work as well as global closing?
 
Cheers,
 
Dave (maybe wishing he hadn't just upped his bid on global closing sun roof motor - Grin )
