Hey, i found out im getting a keyless entry system for x-mas, and i remember seeing that you have to have a driver side door actuator to get it to function correctly. Does anyone know where i can get one, and how much they cost?
thanks

Um. Circuit City had mine when they installed the alarm (and before you all ask, he had done 2 rx7s before, thats the only reason i let him touch it). It was like $30 i believe?

 

I believe dubcaps is asking about the driver's door OEM actuator that came in Japanese FDs with the keyless entry feature. Not sure about other markets, but the U.S. market cars never had this as an option.

The cheap actuators (shown below) stereo/alarm shops typically use can fatigue and eventually break the wire cable which locks and unlocks the door latch.



An OEM actuator would be the right way to go, even if it cost a little more. Circuit City might have done a couple RX-7s before (or at least said they did) but I seriously doubt that they had Japanese-spec electric door lock actuators in stock...

You might try Jason (RX-7 Store) or Cork Sport, or someone with the ability to get Japanese market OEM parts.

 

Also can try jt-imports.com they can get Japan OEM RX-7 parts.
