Sn0wBallMB Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hi I purchased a Hawk alarm system with remote locking to install to my mb2 that came without remote locking. Ive done various interwebs searches but not found much other then people giving up. I had a quick search on here too but didn't find much. I have a haynes manual with diagrams and I requested model specific instructions from hawk but that just consists of "on 5 door models configure for motor interrupt". Wich means the unit will act as a relay and power the motors reversibly. I just whipped the door panel off to have a play with the loom but when I introduce a live and earth to the motor wires nothing happens? Just thought id see if anyone else has been successful with this type of kit before I start hacking away thanks.Regards, Leigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Did you say your car doesn't have central locking at all? If that's the case you'll need a set of solenoids, one for each door. If it does have it, does it work at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn0wBallMB Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Yeah its has full central locking and it operates fine, just doesn't have the optional OE remote receiver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Ah right, hmmmm interesting one then! I think Jake (KiNK43) has a hawk system! Might be worth dropping him a message? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I've had a few people ask me before and I can't remember anything exact. I do know it worked great, all wiring was done in drivers footwell. And if you contact hawk they can give you 96-00 wiring colours and locations. Makes install very easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Nice one man good luck. I should have done the same but just wanted to get it done was a little daunting. But not so bad in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn0wBallMB Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Success! I finished installing the kit this afternoon and it all operates as it should, full remote central locking, alarm, hazards, door switch, multistage shock sensor, interior proximity sensor and siren. Features I didn't connect for lazy reasons include auto powered window closure, anti hijack and interior light activation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
