I completed this today on the front passenger door of my car using the park linked on ebay earlier (slightly faster train from China I guess?), all working but took a lot longer than expected due to a screw dropping inside the door.

In the instructions from IT it stated

ETKA is slightly different (when I checked after the event)



The TORX screw is a screw in a splined insert that is a friction fit into the plastic holder "part 3", so pushing on it has the effect of moving the plastic holder, unless you push a bit hard when the friction fit fails and you are left with a screw in the bottom of the door.

Door card off, speaker removed, fortunately the screw was steel in an aluminium door so 20 mins of blindly fishing with a magnet and it was found.

Also seems that I do have the handle lights installed, but they must have all failed (I assumed that they were not fitted) - going to order four of those from China I think

Still cant complain, keyless locking fixed for less than a tenner
