Keyless Entry Install

If anyone has ever installed keyless entry on their FD3S, please let me know how. I've gone to numerous professional installers who don't have a clue how to put it on. Also, I need to know the closest rotary service center to Evansville, IN. I think there's one in Louisville, KY but I don't know the name and phone #. Thanks

Make sure they don't use the lock cables, cause it will snap! And cost you big money!

be careful when you do this. many people in the forum will tell you that you will break the lock kinkage if you do not do it correctly. i believe spyfish007 is the best one that can explain what i'm talking about. good luck

My car has keyless entry. One of these days I will post pics of the actuator and it's hookup. Basically the actuator is just below the release mechanism. A push/pull rod in the shape of a z goes from the actuator, around the factory release cable, and connects to a hole drilled in the lock switch just behind the stock cable. The push/pull rod on the actuator is stiff; it's not a cable.

Works beautifully but the actuator BARELY fits behind the door panel. It is an Audiovox actuator and is the rack and pinion type, not a solenoid.

I know this makes no since without a pic; when my car gets back from the bodyshop I will take some pics.

It makes perfect sense to me, cause thats the way you have to do it, if you want it done right and don't wan't to buy a J-Spec passanger door handle. Yes please take pics so people can see what you are talking about. I plan on doing this soon, with an aftermarket alarm, the only thing is getting it to disarm the factory alarm when it does this.
