Adding Central Locking And Elec Windows

[Cobe_24]

Hi guys, I've just bought a C1 Vibe 5 door. It currently has winding windows and manual locks. Can I get these changed to elec windows and central locking? I've never thought about this before so if anyone's got any ideas on price that would help greatly with my decision.

 

I also want to say I'm going to keep this car for a very long time so that's why I'm considering this upgrade

 

Thanks

Mike

Welcome to the forum.

For parts you could try aftermarket suppliers or a mix of this and Citroen parts from a scrap yard - only suggesting this since to use all Citroen parts is likely to prove expensive and the ecu would need to be programmed, the comms 2000 unit below the steering wheel (contains the indicator/lighting/wiper switches and remote locking receiver) may need changing. It could well prove cheaper to sell the car and get one with the desired parts already fitted. You would also need to tell the insurance company and they may charge more for this (even though they may not pay out for the mods if not standard on the car - a response we had from Admiral after fitting parking sensors on a C3)

 

You can see the parts diagrams on the service.citroen website if you register as another professional, member of the Citroen Owners Club and this will give you an idea of what bits you will need.

A google search shows 4 door central locking kits for about £50 and 2 door window winder kits for £65, both on Amazon so using aftermarket kits and fitting yourself, it would not be too expensive.

Thanks for the feedback guys it sounds like a big job so will definitely consider and look deeper into it

 

Thanks again
