Default focus remote locking

hi i have a 51 focuscl tddi
i want to have remote locking can the car be converted easily ?
i bought a remote locking ecu but i have noticed it has 2 multiplugs where as my one has only 1 plug ! could the other tucked away in the car ?
also i am thinking about a cheap kit but are the central locking motors positive,negative or both operated ? has anyone fitted one of these kits,was it easy ?????????????????????
thanks

to be honest id get a company to fit it, dont ring and ask cos they wont no they will just read it from a tech sheet you get from said manufacturer

you will need wire locations colours etc etc u just need the lock and unlock wire, ignition, perm live, earth job done

get a haynes manuel and have a look at wiring diagrams

faling that get it pro fit prob be less than 100 quid
