I don`t know more but I`ll try to install a remote locking unit into my car over the weekend:

Mod: Well, I managed to finish the job today, the remote locking unit is installed (the dead-locking does not work from the remote but I can dead-lock it with the key as before).

Mod2: The dead-locking is working now, connected the boot release cable to the lock wire and using the boot release button to give the system an another impulse to lock the car.

This is the unit: http://www.hawkcaralarm.com/UniversalUpgradeRemoteKeylessForCentralLock.aspx.
Manual (HA-008): http://www.hawkcaralarm.com/Manuals.aspx.
I used the "negative locking" connection.
Did not connected the hazard lights nor the flashing LED, only the lock/unlock and power wires.

There is no separated module on Jazz/Fit the locking and unlocking features are built in the Instrument Cluster.

However you can install a remote locking unit and probably you'll need the signals for locking and unlocking. This can be found on the fusebox.

The problem is... GD has two fusebox types, and here in Brazil is a mess because the Year/Model does not match the global (European/Japanese) models and forget the US model, it's another fusebox as far as i know.

Early Model (GD)

On this model the signals are on the 13 connector, I can check later which pins...

Newest Model (GD)


If you can confirm which model is your fuse box I think I can help more.
Also can you post the model or installation instructions of the remote locking unit?

The signal is sent from the instrument cluster to each of the solenoids inside the door.  Any of these can also pack up due to wear / dodgy wiring / bad connections / bad re-assembly when something is repaired.  They are usually very reliable as the solenoid is a robust device

hi guys thanks for all the advice and help so far just one more question , where is the instrument cluster?

[guest2662]

how do you hope to fit anything if you dont know whare anything is on the car ?

hi guys thanks for all the advice and help so far just one more question , where is the instrument cluster?

The instrument cluster is actually where you see the Gauges like speed, fuel and Revs.

how do you hope to fit anything if you dont know whare anything is on the car ?

That's true, if you are not sure in this case, it's better for look for a service to install the remote locking module for you, at least you can ask for warranty of the service if needed. It's less risky.

I'm trying to find out for my hubby but chrisc said the signal comes from the instrument cluster ? so do we connect the new remote unit to the fuse box ? or is there a locking unit that it connects to. Hubby is confident he can connect it just wasn't what to.

[kotarou]

Which type of fusebox do you have? Or better which GD model and Year ?

Here in Brazil people install alarms and remte locking units by getting the signals from the fusebox, however it's possible to get the signals from the Instrument Cluster connector too. Some Japanese guys buy an module that checks the Speed signal and lock the doors automatically (This is standard on GE), but in this case makes sense to go on the instrument cluster because you need the VSS Signal.

What model are you going to install?

Hi I have a 2003 se not sure what GD means

[DV]

GD: 2002-2008, http://clubjazz.org/forum/, GE: 2008- .

You can also check on your car documentation. Locate the VIN/Chassis number and check from the 4th number the 3 digits.

For Example, my car is an GE6 in my VIN is like this 93HGE6XXXXXXXXXXXX

the first 3 digits are the Factory Plant which your car is manufactured mine is 93H = Honda Brazil,  the next 3 digits are GE6 which corresponds to my car Model.

Hi I have a GD 1 model

[guest3334]

Hi

The lock barrel of my jazz GD1 model is jammed. So I ordered the hawk alarm mentioned in the post today. Now need to get it fixed. So eagerly awaiting reply from fellow members . Seems like I need to use the negative locking circuit diagram as in the manual. Can all the necessary connections to the hawk receiver be tapped from the fuse box itself. Also which is the best place to keep the receiver module in the car .

Thanks in advance
