Electrically Activated Vacuum (Type E); One-Wire System, (Type F) - Avital AviStart 3200 Installation Manual

type E: mercedes-benz and audi (1985 and newer)
These door locks are controlled by an electrically activated vacuum pump. Some Mercedes and Audis use a Type
D system. Test by locking doors from the passenger key cylinder. If all the doors lock, the vehicle's door lock
system can be controlled with just two relays (optional). The control wire can be found in either kick panel and
will show (+)12V when doors are unlocked and (-) ground when doors are locked.

This system is also found in some Mazda MPV's and some Mitsubishi's. One relay (optional) is used to interface
