I recently purchased my third Focus estate, this one is a 1.6TDCi Studio with no remote locking. :(
When I activate remote programming I get the 'bong' though the car will not respond to a remote (tried the one from my 54 Focus). I'm hoping the I can add or replace a CL module (found instructions to do this for Mk1 Focus online) though I don't know whether this is possible or where the unit is, I've looked under the steering wheel which is where the Mk1 unit lives.
Any suggestions short of upgrading my car. :) Thanks, David

In answer to my own question, yes it is possible. The Studio model is supplied without the remote receiver. Picked one up and Bob is now my uncle. Also hacked the transponder from my original key and implanted it into a flip remote key. Thanks for all the replies. ;)

You've coped but Ford do offer kits for upgrading door locking systems/alarms etc.The big advantage is the colour-matched wiring.
