CENTRAL LOCKING / NOT WORKING WITH REMOTE CONTROL
When the door open/close command is given from the remote control, the door lock system does not work.
The Body Computer Node receives a signal from the remote control via the radio aerial. Once the signal is received, it sends a door open/close signal to the door nodes and boot node (if present) and controls the boot lock directly if the boot node is missing.
