Re: Activa remote locking no longer working
Mine did the same until I changed the wiring for 'positive trigger'. If I remember correctly I swapped two wires over. Can't check exactly as car and instruction sheet are in France and I am back in Scotland for a while.
Re: Activa remote locking no longer working
Ok thanks
My units kaput I think, it is wired to positive trigger.
I'm trying to exchange it.
If you get a chance please upload how you did it in the future.
I'm sure I can manage but the assistance would be great

Re: Activa remote locking no longer working
I now realise that I did bring all the details of the wiring with me back to Scotland. Will try and post the details with diagrams and pics over the weekend.

Re: Activa remote locking no longer working
Ok. Lets try to do this logically:
To fit a new radio frequency remote kit to a Xantia 1
This assumes that the central locking is working on the key- it only replaces the old IR remote with a new long range RF remote. It relates to the Xantia 1 with no flasher activation - just the operation of the doors/hatch.
1) Remove roof cover, expose old receiver unit and disconnect plug. Remove unit and discard. Note the connections - see photo 1 Acknowledgements to Aussiefrogs for this pic. I only used 4 of the 5 leads, no2 orange was not used.
2) Examine new RF receiver, with reference to wiring for positive trigger. Identify the wires to be used See photos 2 and 3 Remove the old IR plug and connect new RF receiver to existing wiring. For my kit this was:
Existing wiring to receiver.....New RF plug wire(s)
Mushroom wire 1........................Yellow and Yellow/Black and Black. negative earth
Orange wire 2............................. not used
Grey wire 3.................................White
Grey wire 4.................................White/Black.
Note 3 and 4 may need reversing if unit plips but does not activate locks
Grey wire 5................................. Red 12v positive
There may be variations with different kits - the one I used is referenced in a previous post, but the principle will be the same. Complications will arise if you wish to wire in the flashing indicators using the brown wires , but should be possible.
I tested it all before tucking everything away behind the headlining. See last photo 4 Hope this helps

Re: Activa remote locking no longer working
Perfect thank you.
That's exactly how mines wired up so it is definitely faulty.
The sellers ignored me all week so I'll force a return through Amazon today.
