Just a quick question on whether or not this system has onboard relays for locking/unlocking the doors. I noticed that it has the relays onboard for remote start. One would THINK that if it has relays for remote start it would also have the relays for door locks BUT...it doesn't explicitly say that it does. I'd hate to assume it does and find out it doesn't.

So, anyone that's installed one before, do it or don't it? Thanks.

How many wires does the brain have for your locks.....2 or 6?

If there are 6 wires...your unit has built in relays....if it has 2 wires....say green and blue (standard colors) you'll need to add relays.

If you're talking alarm brain, I don't know. I don't have this particular alarm and thought I'd ask before buying. Your question made me think of something else, though. These power locks in my car are aftermarket. The front doors are 5 wire actuators and the rear are 2 wire. Locking or unlocking either of the front doors will lock or unlock ALL of the doors. This central lock system came with a module that I would venture to guess contains a built in relay. So, if this is the case, I'd also venture to guess that I wouldn't need relays built into the alarm brain, only two wires to send lock/unlock signals which could be tied into one of the front doors which would, in turn, lock/unlock all doors at once. Does that sound logical? Wouldn't that lock/unlock signal coming from the alarm brain trigger the relays and cause all of the doors to lock/unlock?
