Yes it has central locking installed and the key will lock and unlock all 4 doors and the boot I only want the remote option for convenience as it’s a bit of a pain if you have your hands full and have to manually open the doors or boot

The only cost effective way to do it would be to use a universal remote lock kit . Cheap and easily available. Will need to be fitted by a competent tech as it requires wiring inside driver door .

I saw some kits on eBay can anyone recommend any good ones I’m no good with wiring so I’m guessing I will need to find a competent auto electrician to do it
