Commando KE 30 Keyless Entry

New member here great site from what I have found so far . Was wondering if any one had installed a Commando KE  30 keyless entry system and if so how did it go . I Just purchased one for my 2001 Buick Century. All I plan to hook up is the door locks and dome light . I may hook up the horn as well . Just wanted to know if anyone had hooked this type up before . Any info that could help me with my 2001 Buick Century wouls be greatly appreciated. By the way this is my first install of a keyless entry system. Thanks again

Thanks guys for all the help and putting up with all my questions. One more question for you guys on the commando ke 30 keyless entry it says it has the relay built in for the park light flash when armed and lock /unlock outputs (so if i read it right) i dont need any relays for the above items. Thanks again

BCM stand fro Body Control Module. If the KE30 has built in relays for parking light flash, then all you need to do is hook up the (+) parking light wire of the vehicle to the wire on the KE30. Here is the wiring data sheet for the 2001 Buick:
