Central Locking Question

Gents

I have just purchased a 2014 110 CSW in fairly basic configuration.

The vehicle has the winter pack i.e heated windscreen and seats and pretty much nothing else.

Now I am aware that there are after market fitments and also Landrovers own option if need be so not the question of can I fit or what kit should I use.

I have searched the forum ( I think ) and can’t find the answer I am looking for.

I have been told conflicting information from a few sources ( Those who deal in Landrovers etc ) that it is not possible to integrate the central locking into the vehicles own

alarm / immobiliser due to,the fact that I have the later type alarm / immobiliser system ( Fords own I am informed not the 10as ) fitted from 2014 to 2016.

And there again I have been told by another Landrover Specialist that they will fit the central locking and thereafter take the vehicle to their local Landrover dealership

who will flash the ECU - Alarm/ Immobiliser unit with the correct patch with everything thereafter working as it would have been as a factory fitted option.

To say that I am now confused is an understatement. Has anyone experienced these issues or could possibly add any advice.

I have owned Landrovers for years in different shapes and forms but this is my first foray in Puma / Defender ownership. I am aware that Landrover factory builds were erratic

at best and things were added / deleted with abandon, often with parts / wiring options fitted to the vehicle that were not connected and left tucked away.

Any advice or assistance in greatly appreciated.
I have posted this question elsewhere but have been surprised to have had no replies!

I’d say it’s highly likely it can be done. I have a 2016xs 90 .I can’t imagine that they build a non modular unit, especially as it’s a ford unit and luckily not the 10as unit. I imagine it’s not cheap though to retrofit and flash.

I got to speak to someone at Land Rover today who hummed and hawed and did the sharp intake of breath thing!
I pretty much thought it could be done but need to know an indication of the cost involved

But there again, given what is happening at the moment, perhaps a little perspective on my part!

I’d be surprised if it’s under £600 quid from LR.

And that might be a conservative estimate knowing Landrover.

Perhaps the Hawk kit might be an interim until I make that decision

I was just wondering if you had taken this further? I am in exactly the same position. The wiring loom for CL is all there but as you say the ECU will need a patch or a reconfig to accept it has CL. Not the addition of a relay as in the 10AS! I hope.

interested to hear your progress.

Thanks
