hour, tested in 1 hour and installing into the car will take you 2 hours. However it could also take up to
14 days, depending how much experience you have
Ideally lock/unlock should happen when you switch from PARK to automated/manual gear, but that
would mean a lot of work to take the dashboard out. Remember: one of the design principles was
keeping it EASY. I decided that the parking-brake was a great way to activate door-lock/unlock
Below is very detailed information, however if a less technical person wants to understand this:
1.
You start the car as normal
2.
Release the parking-brake before you start driving as normal, HOWEVER as by a miracle the
doors lock automatically
3.
Drive as normal
4.
Park the car as normal
5.
Put the parking-brake on as normal, HOWEVER as by a miracle the doors now UNLOCK
automatically
6.
Switch of the engine.
WOW
…. who would NOT understand and like that….. (No Emails with names please!)
For the more technical & lucky people that will built and install; I wish you a TON of pleasure with the
descriptions below. I tried to be complete and as helpful as possible. Take time to read the document
maybe 2 times before you start. It can save you a lot of time. An in-house test is proposed. You do that
BEFORE you install it in the car. I mention it here as many people believe you don’t have to read a
manual before and find themselves in trouble later on.
The building and install requires a basic knowledge of electronics and as well as standard set of the tools
when dealing with basic electronics. If after reading below you find it too difficult or don’t have the
tools, contact a friend or a friend of a friend to help out.
Last but not least, if you decide to build and install, it is all at
your own risk and cost
. I only share advice
around I have done it, what worked for me and added information to try to help you. However any
issues/damage or cost is at your own risk.
I expect however you will be happy, so happy you want to donate money. Please do so, but not to me,
but think about the people that are less fortunate in the world and support them. Remember that any
Dollar or Euro (or whatever) counts for them. Thank you and happy reading!
