My Favorite $30 Mod so far...(keyless entry)

Do you absolutely have to plug it into the antenna?

I mean, what good does the antenna do if it's a power antenna and its down when you exit the car? I'm guessing it still supplies a little bit of reception?

well i think it will be much better then just letting it hang there

Hum, true. I may pick up an remote entry set.

i basically just stripped a bit back off the keyless antenna, then unscrewed the radio antenna and shoved the keyless antenna and and re attached the radio antenna. I don't know how much difference it makes, but my keyless sure reaches further than i'd ever need it to. Some one let me know if you figure out how to wire it to make the parking lights flash ect...

im considering snagging one of these, but i've got my OEM alarm system computer sitting in my room right now as well.. i'm debating wehther i should try to get it working, or just get one of these :(

well, i just installed mine, its SWEET! definately worth the money.

then i got to thinking about the whole double locking, then unloking with the remote shit...

if you double lock, then unlock the car from the trunk, no damage occurs, only the trunk unlocks and the others stay locked. essentially all you are doing with the remote is unlocking from the trunk.... so, to get rid of any nervousness of mistake... i just tested it. i double locked the doors, then pressed unlock from the remote... nothing happned. i mean nothing at all, it seems that the central locking mechanism is disabled. SO THERE! myth... busted! feel free to do whatever, keep in mind, this is only true if the keyless is mounted to the trunk lock/unlock wires, i dont know about anywhere else, so use discression, and I am definatelly not responsible if you screw something up, but it worked for me!

Someone needs to figure out how to make it flash the parking lights.

[DanGillan]

i agree^^^

it can do all that stuff, and more, but we all mounted it in the trunk rather than in the drivers side kickpanel where they suggest. that's where all the connections for all the fancy stuff is.

Perhaps you can run a wire from the front to rear to make the parking lights flash.

I have so many wires going from my headunit to the trunk. RCA cables, direct to battery HU power cable, amp remote wire, and amp power controller knob.

Wouldn't hurt to run just another! :P

[DanGillan]

if you do it please post detailed instructions on what you did so we can all do it!!! :)

my only gripe about the trunk install is that you can't wire it to the parking lights or horn without it being a major pain in the ass. That being said, mine isn't wired to either of those, but my interior lights do turn on when I unlock it :P
