what do i need to work the door locks

For door locks you can pick up a DEI 451M it comes with the required resistors and plugs right in to the door lock port on your 561R. You can find these on the web for less than $10.

or a 456L if you dont want to mess around with relays and resistors....Kevin Gerry

do i still need the 457gw with those

Yes, you need it to bypass the PK3 for it to remote start. You will only connect 4 wires on the 457G, black, red, blue and purple(no others!)Mike M2
