I don't have power anything in my 4 door car. But am hoping to go to keyless entry and add an alarm. I don't know if it'd be better to do just the front 2 doors, or wire the driver's side and the other 3 seperately (rear and passenger all on same button). I won't add remote start cause its a manual. Here's what I plan on buying.
Alarm w/ keyless entry option. 2 remotes. Aux. trunk output, and 2 sep. lock/unlock buttons on remote.
2 or 4 2 wire actuators
What am I missing? Are any extra relays needed? I'll unlock the doors inside using the old mechanical attachment instead of a button. If I wanted to add door poppers I'd need to just have 2 extra channels on the remote and 2 solenoids correct? Thanks a ton for the help.
I would add actuators to only the two front doors unless you always roll 4 deep. Depending on the type of alarm you choose, you may need relays. DEI alarms come with a relay pack. If you don't have a push button trunk release, you will also need a trunk pop kit and depending on the alarms polarity on the options you may need a relay for this also. The door lock actuators will work off of the lock and unlock buttons on your remote you won't need extra channels for this feature.

Do it right the first time
I will need extra channels for a door popper kit, cause they are seperate devices from the actuators.
If you shave your door handles then you disconnect the locks from the actuator as to not get locked out completely.

Tell Darwin I sent you.
I've been sick lately, sorry I won't be on much.
Good point, but not plannin on doin shaved door handles yet, the door popper (passenger side) will be just for fun. So I'll just have to make sure I do unlock, then pop
