Frequently Asked Questions - PRO-PDL-25 AUDIOVOX

What is the Audiovox PRO-PDL-25?

The Audiovox PRO-PDL-25 is a power door lock kit designed to add remote locking/unlocking to vehicles. It includes actuators, wiring harness, and mounting hardware for 2-door or 4-door systems.

Can I install the PRO-PDL-25 on a 2-door car?

Yes, the kit supports both 2-door and 4-door configurations. For 2-door installation, use only the components above the dashed line in the wiring diagram and ignore rear door instructions.

What is the difference between Master and Slave actuators?

Master actuators (5-wire) are installed in front doors and control the lock logic. Slave actuators (2-wire) are installed in rear doors and follow the Master's signal. Front doors use Master, rear doors use Slave.

How do I test the system after installation?

Roll down the driver's window, close all doors except driver's, ensure doors are unlocked, then lock the driver's door with the key. All doors should lock and unlock simultaneously. Repeat using the passenger door. For 4-door, only front doors control the system.

What if the plunger direction is wrong?

If the plunger extends on 'unlock' instead of 'lock,' use reverse wiring: for rear doors swap Blue and Green; for front doors swap Blue/Green and Brown/White. This reverses the plunger motion.

Can I connect the PRO-PDL-25 to an existing alarm system?

Yes, use the Brown (unlock) and White (lock) wires as negative trigger inputs from your alarm or keyless entry system. Connect them to the corresponding negative outputs.

Do I need to drill holes in the door jamb?

If there is no existing rubber tube, drill a 3/8 hole in the door jamb and door, then route wires through the provided flexible rubber tube. Ensure slack for full door movement.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need a drill, 3/16 and 3/8 drill bits, screwdrivers, wire strippers, and basic hand tools. Also a 5x16mm screw for the control module.

How do I reset the system?

The system does not have a user-reset. If issues occur, check wiring connections, fuse, and ground. For persistent problems, contact Audiovox support.

What is the warranty coverage?

Audiovox provides a 12-month warranty from the original purchase date covering defects in material or workmanship. Labor and parts for repair are covered. Call 1-800-645-4994 for service authorization.

USER MANUAL PRO-PDL-25 AUDIOVOX

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

1. Review the installation drawings and wiring diagram to familiarize yourself with the use and wiring of the system.

NOTE: These instructions apply to both the 2 & 4-Door systems.

If installing the 2-Door system, ignore the section applicable to the 4-Door system.

1. Determine where the CONTROL MODULE will be mounted. This will normally be behind the dash near the fuse block to allow for connection of the 12 Volt Positive and Ground Wires.
2. Examine the WIRING HARNESS. You will find two groups of 5 wires each (on 4-door models and two groups of 2 wires each). One of the 5-wire harnesses will be shorter than the other. This short harness is to be routed to the front door nearest the mounting location of the CONTROL MODULE.
3. Remove the door panels on all doors.

CONTROL MODULE MOUNTING & WIRE ROUTING

1. Select a mounting location for the CONTROL MODULE and secure it with 5 x 16 mm screw.
2. Plug the wiring harness into the control module.
3. Route the SHORT 5-wire harness to the FRONT door nearest the CONTROL MODULE by the following method:

a) If the door has an existing rubber tube connecting the door jamb to the door, route the wires through the tube and into the door.
b) If the door has no existing tube, drill a 9.5 mm or 3/8" diameter hole in the door jamb and in the door. Route wires out the hole in the door jamb and into the flexible rubber tube provided. Route wires into the hole in the door. Allow enough slack in the wires for the door to open completely and press grommets on ends of the tube into the drilled holes.

1. Route the long 5-wire harness to the other FRONT door using the same method.

2. If installing the 4-door kit, route one 2-wire harness into each REAR door using the same method as the front doors.

3. Do not connect any wires at this time.

DOOR WIRING

POWER LOCK MECHANISM MOUNTING

1. Carefully remove all the door panels.
2. Refer to the mounting illustration for POWER LOCK MECHANISM.
3. Select a mounting location inside the door that will not interfere with WINDOW, WINDOW MOVEMENT, DOOR MECHANISM or any other part within the door.
4. Make certain this location will enable connection of the POWER LOCK MECHANISM to the existing door lock button mechanism as shown.
5. Once selected, use one of the two possible mounting methods shown (direct mounting to door frame or use of mounting support strap).
6. Once the mounting method is decided on, install the POWER LOCK MECHANISMS in each door using the hardware shown in the applicable drawing.

NOTE: Use 5-wire Master locks in front doors and 2-wire Slave locks in rear doors.

CONNECTION OF POWER DOOR LOCK MECHANISM TO DOOR LOCK

1. Refer to drawings for the possible connection methods depending on the type of existing door lock and the location of the existing door button rod that joins the button to the door lock.
2. Assemble as follows:

a) Place a CONNECTING ROD through the hole in the POWER LOCK MECHANISM plunger as shown.
b) Bend the CONNECTING ROD as necessary to reach the existing door button rod.
c) Place the CONNECTING ROD ADAPTOR over the existing door button rod as shown and secure it by inserting the 4 x 6 mm Phillips head set screws into the threaded hole and tightening firmly.
d) Manually move the existing door lock button from the locked to the unlocked position and check that the attached mechanism moves smoothly and the plunger on the POWER LOCK MECHANISM extends and retracts.
e) Tighten any loose screws.
f) Repeat the procedure for all remaining doors.

CONNECTION METHODS

MOUNTING SUPPORT STRAP METHOD

DIRECT TO DOOR FRAME MOUNTING

WIRING

1. Plug the five wires in each front door into the matching color wires on the POWER LOCK MECHANISMS.
2. Plug the two wires in each rear door into the matching color wires on the POWER LOCK MECHANISMS.
3. Secure the BLACK wire on the CONTROL MODULE to a grounded metal part of the vehicle.
4. Connect the RED FUSED WIRE on the CONTROL MODULE to a CONSTANT - ON (always live) +12 volt battery source at a fuseblock that is rated for at least 20 amps.

TESTING

NOTE: Roll down the driver's door window.

1. Close all doors except the driver's door. Check that all doors are unlocked.
2. Close the driver's door and lock it using the door lock key. All doors must lock automatically at the same time.
3. Unlock the driver's door using the key and check that all doors unlock at the same time.
4. Push the driver's door lock button down and check that all door buttons go down.
5. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 using the passenger's door.
   NOTE: On the 4-Door lock systems, only the two front doors control the system. (Locking the rear doors will not lock the front doors but locking either front door will lock all other doors.)
6. Once the system is tested, replace the door panels and re-test the system.

REVERSE WIRING FOR 2 DOORS & 4 DOORS

NOTE: When the power door locking mechanisms are wired as shown in the manual, the plunger will extend when the door signals "UNLOCK" and will retract when the door signals "LOCK". In some installations it may be necessary to mount the plunger mechanism in such a position that reversed actuation is required (see Reverse Wiring).

REVERSE WIRING

In order to make the plunger retract when the door signals "UNLOCK" and extend when it signals "LOCK", reverse the wiring as follows:

1. For rear doors, reverse the "BLUE" and "GREEN" wires.
2. For front doors, reverse the "BLUE" with the "GREEN" wires; and reverse the "BROWN" with the "WHITE" wires. Connect BLACK in all cases.

NOTE: You do not have to reverse wire all the plungers, only one can be reversed wired if desired.

REMOTE CONTROL INPUTS

Negative Trigger: White and Brown, two additional short leads, can be connected to an existing alarm or keyless entry system that switches ground to lock & unlock the doors.

Brown Wire: = - Unlock Input

White Wire: = - Lock Input
