Locking Switch Wiring

[JimsT6]

A bit of a strange question but I have been asking myself for a while now. I’m thinking it might be a good idea to fit a remote locking button in the rear of my camper for those occasions when the wife asks if the doors are locked and we’ve just got tucked up in bed. I know the keys would do this but as far as Im aware the keys would turn the alarm on at the same time.
So does anyone know the colours of the wires in the door wiring loom or better still the vehicle wiring loom in the A post.
Thanks

With some help from Willoughby (thanks, Kevin!), I've installed a door lock/unlock switch near my 2017 T6's sliding door.
This lets me more easily lock the van when I'm sleeping in it, without arming the alarm system. It makes it much easier for my kids sleeping on the roof bunk to reach down and lock or unlock the doors. It's also an easy reach for the passenger.

Brilliant, thanks. That is great and given me another idea for my GSM relay for when I’m on ferries too.
