ive got a sony, but you need the autoleads adapter to make it work with the remote. model number is PC-101 iirc

these come up on ebay quite frequently, or a wanted post on cliosport should turn one up quite quickly

expect to pay about £10

My 19 exec has the same problem of rear doors seeming to not be involved with the rest of the central locking. It's mainly the rear passenger side door. It just stays locked. In this recent f-f-freeezing weather, my boot has also stopped opening with the central locking. Doh! Keep meaning to sort it out, but will wait till there's some decent weather I think!

My passenger door doesnt always lock properly under the central locking either, keep meaning to fix it.

Still, its easy enough to just lean over and push the button down before i get out, and that way i can also have my hand outstretched to brace the door to prevent it slamming when the passenger inevitably throws it like a cricket ball at the door frame EVERY BLOODY TIME... Evil or Very Mad

There isn't a 3dr exec to my knowledge. Or am I wrong there? He may well have a 3dr with leather interior........but not a 'proper' exec.

thats right, only 5dr 16v hatches are executives (and it's not an option, if its a 5dr 16v hatch, it is an executive). Nothing else can be an executive.

I know people will argue this and insist that they have a 3dr executive, but check the V5 to see if it says '19 16v executive'...the DVLA know what your car is even if you dont.
