Default Remote control of the vacuum power lock???

Is it possible to connect aftermarket/non original alarm/startblock so you via the remote can control the original vacuum powerlock system.

And if it is, how do you go about it.

Connect it in the driver side door, or do you have to connect it to the pump unit itself in the trunk?

Default

on mine, they installed a actuator on the driver's door lock, which controls the passenger door lock

Default Add an electric actuator to the driverside doorlock rod

If you connect at the pump, all the doors/trunk will work except the drivers door

Default what i did was using all audi parts...

i ended up using two pump motors, one was relayed with the 3 seconds for on, one connected to the relay and was the off pump. both tee'd into the powerlock vacuum line.
I replaced the actuator in the driver's door with an extra trunk actuator (the one from the factory does not operate on vacuum) then I ran a vacuum line to the driver's door. Now all of my doors are vacuum operated and it just took a bit or creativity. (having spare parts helps too)
i just didn't want to have to go out and buy electric actuators.
