Hi
This is my first post (please be gentle) and probably a noob question.
I'm building a pop top tent camper out of a Mk5 Jetta to tow behind my Mk5 Jetta. I've got a lot of the body sorted out and a solid plan for the tent and interior. The question is, can I rig up the donor car's remote door and trunk actuation and alarm? I've got the complete harness except for ECM. I think I would need the CECM, whatever antenna the remote talks to and the harness to the doors etc. Obviously I'll need the sensors and actuators for the door and trunks etc.
Since I'm not using airbags, ECM, climate, steering cluster, radio and a host of other modules and the tail lights and marker lights are wired as a trailer, there would be a lot to code out, I realise, but I like the idea of going OEM+ instead of using an eBay remote.
