Can keyless entry be installed on a car w/ no power locks?

[thawolfman]

'92 Prelude - I have power windows/sunroof but no power locks...I was wondering if it's possible if they could install power locks/keyless entry on it?

Does anyone know if it's possible, and how much it could be? Figured I'd ask around here

Thanks~

depending on how you look at the answer.

the answer is NO, because you must have power door locks to have it controlled remotely.

or the answer could be YES, because YOU will be the one installing the power door locks.

it's been done b4 and they sell complete kits to do it if your car doesn't already have power locks.

yeah but you have to get the actuators and whatnot

Stop confusing him. Give him the simple answer. YES. All you need is the power door lock module and relay. If you don't feel comfortable doing the install have an installer do it for you. It shouldn't take a competent installer more than 3 hours to do keyless entry.. especially if they have experience installing on your car model before.

You can always get anything to work, if you have enough money and time available..

But, it's probably not worth the trouble, because of all the time and money involved..


So the answer is Yes and No

Any idea around how much? Ball Park?

Yes, my brother got powerlocks and a keyless entry thing installed on his truck. It didn't have powerlocks before.

$50 for the kit + labor, unless you do it yourself.

 

[minendo]

Sure can. The locking motors can be had from BB for around $30-40 plus installation each. Or if you know someone that works there, they cost less than ~$10/each plus installation.

Schweet - not as much as I thought - gonna check around at some local places and see how much it is!

I paid $50 in labor for each door (2-door Ranger pick-em-up) 3 years ago to have the actuators installed....

You ll have to install locking motors ...

My car doesn't have power locks, but most of the hardware is already there (Mazda).

If you already have power locks then you just need to splice into the relay wires and connect them to your keyless entry or alarm module.
