Wiring aftermarket alarm to aftermarket central locking?
Hi all, wondered if somebody could help me out a bit because i'm clueless with electrical stuff! So, my car came with an aftermarket Toad alarm fitted, which is nice, and makes it a bit more secure. I know it also has the ability to be linked to central door locking.
The car doesn't currently have central locking, but i'm fitting an aftermarket remote central locking kit, which is all eeasy stuff. It involves a load of solenoids powered by electric motors, which connect to the door pins and lock/unlock the doors. These are wired up to a black box, which simply has an earth and a live feed to connect to the car.
I will drill a hole to make a suitable earth, and wire the live to a permanent live on the fuse box. However, how do I link the central locking to the alarm?
I have found the Toad instructions, where it shows the 'central door locking' function/setup. It shows how to wire it for: positive trigger locking, negative trigger locking, single wire locking, vacuum locking, additional motor locking, or universal motor driven locking. Of which i'm guessing my setup is 'universal motor driven locking'?
Now, on these instructions, it shows four, different coloured wires (from the alarm), which I have found on the alarm unit. However, it says two go to the 'CDL relay', and two go to the 'drivers door solenoid'. Now my problem is a. I don't have a central door locking relay, and b. the drivers' door solenoid has 5 wires (brown, white, blue, green and another)!
So what goes where??! Any help will be very greatly appreciated! Thanks :-)

imn not familiar with toad, but it looks like you need to use (additional motor locking)
the blue/red and grey/red would goto the green and blue wires to your door motor

as above, fit the central locking kit as normal, then you need to splice into the green and blue wires to the motor in the drivers door

Thanks very much. Wired this up yesterday and works really well. Just need to mount the solenoids in the door where they don't interfere with the window, but still actually manage to lock the door!
For anyone else who might be doing this, don't wire the earth and live from the central locking kit! Just to the alarm. You will loose the function of all doors locking when you press one door pin/lock one door, but it will lock all doors from remote.
