Nice to know I'm not alone.

Short description:

Car: Volvo 850 1996 wagon, central locking (no deadlocks, not two-stage).
Aftermarket remote keyless entry system: Crimestopper RKE 865.
Tools: You must have all the neccesary connectors, wires, crimper etc. Don't try this without good wiring diagrams unless you really know what you're doing.


Installation:

All of the wiring is under the drivers side dash. Remove panel above pedals (three torx screws).

For the power and ground connections I used the accessory connector (yellow 8-pin) which was in place. I got the right size of blades at a parts store and could fit them with a little bending and adjustment.

For unlocking I wired a tap into the Gray/Red unlock wire going into the blue connector which plugs into the large white connector. This tap I connected to the unlock relay output, and grounded the "normally open" wire. "Normally closed" is not connected.

For locking I cut the yellow wire (M- in the diagram, drivers side motor, normally grounded, hot when locking) and connected the door side to the receiver lock relay output, the other side I connected to the relay "normally closed" input. The "normally open" wire I wired to 12V.

I also added a relay for turn signal flashing, you could do this with diodes but they were sold out.

You really need a wiring diagram and vested interest to read this, good luck.
