Rewiring the Factory alarm to work with keyless entry?

So I'm starting to install keyless entry on my car and I'm curious as to what I might be able to get away with in terms of rewiring the factory alarm to work?

I know that the alarm goes off unless the car is unlocked using the key, so could I possibly reroute this somehow to work with the lock actuators unlocking the doors?

Thanks,
Sam

well my suggestion would be to ditch the stock alarm, and get a good aftermarket alarm, pretty much all aftermarket alarms (any decent one) comes with keyless entry so youd be set.

poor advice...

every additional thing you can do to prevent the car from being stolen helps... ripping out perfectly good and working security systems makes no sense what so ever.

Yeah, pretty simple, just "T" off the keyless's door unlock wire with a diode (bar or Cathode of the diode facing the unlock wire from the keyless) Anode (non bar) side of the diode tapping into the factory disarm wire (green/black coming in from either door or at the factory system- test the wire by turning the key in the door to the unlock position, and the wire should have continuity to ground).
