autoloc used to be a serious commercial abuser of the various mailing lists
i manage; they were at their worst on the bmw digest, where under the guise
of "my320i@domain.elided" they used to sell bmw service manuals that were
photocopied copyright violations.

at one point, i engaged andrew, the owner, in a dialog. he insisted that
the autoloc door openers worked on 105/115 series GTV doors. having
recently done a lot of work on the door handles of my 1973, i asked him how
that was supposed to work. i never got an answer.

i personally cannot recommend doing business with autoloc.
