460 remote central locking would fit a 480?
A friend with a couple of GTs, has found today a 460 turbo "just arrived" at a scrapyard. Aparently this 460 has remote central locking and the remote key was there. So he has taken both door locks wondering if it could be installed in a 480. Although he has tried to follow the cables he couldn't find any specific control unit, antenna receiver or anything alike. Anyone with experiencie on this? What box does control this remote central locking system and where to be found?

This is something I'd like to know as well, having been given a control unit and matching key some years ago - not sure if it would need the locks as well or if it can be matched or just overrides any manual key ?
The unit is quite small, 12.5 x 10 x 3cms so it could have been inside the door. It has thick glue on the back with the remains of a piece of curved black plastic.
Why would it have ABS stamped on it ?

Can't help with the hook up but I assume ABS
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
Or plastic to you and me

Re: 460 remote central locking would fit a 480?
Looking at the parts lists that unit is for both the remote central locking and alarm system (there should also be another electronic unit (7)) for the 440/460. The 480 didn’t use this system.
That doesn’t mean it couldn’t be adapted as the contact units in the doors (not shown) although different part numbers for the 480 do look similar. A 440/460 wiring diagram for the late cars would be required to know if you need both units and any of the other bits for that matter for just the remote locking.
