Recently purchased a dodge ram 1500 quad cab with power locks. I am looking to install a keyless entry/alarm system probably a commando 550 system. Just looking for any advise before I start to tackle this job. It seem the keyless entry part might tricky. Any advise or suggestion would be greatly appreciated before I get myslef into trouble.

Thanks in advance

take the drivers side of the dash(lower part) off. Will give you all kinds of room to work. Removal of the instument bezel will also give you access to room for let and to get to parking light switch easier.
