I have a 1994 Honda Civic LX with power locks and windows.   
I want to add a keyless entry system to it. So I have been looking around and am thinking about going with a Commando KE-30. From the pictures on the websites it shows the box and the remote key fobs but doesn't show any wiring. Does this product come with wiring connectors or is there some other wiring harness that I need to buy?
I have the Honda wiring diagram and from what I can see I can just tap into the existing wires from the master lock switch without adding additional relays. Am I correct in this assumption? Is this a positive or negative polarity switch?
To get access to the wiring am I going to need to tear into the dashboard?
Thanks!

you don't need relays for door locks. your car has negative locks. and yeah you have to take some panels apart for the installation.

Thank you!
What are the best practices for connecting this kit to the cars wiring? Splicing, soldering, crimping...?
In looking at the page that sells the kit it says that I need some relays if the lock is reverse-polarity. Is reverse-polarity considered the same as the negative lock?

reverse polarity is used on some Ford cars and it different from negative trigger.

If you have time....stripping and soldering is the way to go. specially for larger guage wire. Some of the smaller guage, you can use a t-tap, BUT be ware, they suck, and are not 100% reliable.

For more info on the different door lock types, look in the "door lock" section, or relay section in the top left corner of this screen.....under BASICS and CAR SECURITY, lot of info!!
