Hey my dad just got a 2006 ford f-150 and im going to be putting in a remote start alarm system most likely the dei python 881xp since ive worked with it plenty of times, and i also want to add power doorlocks ( its a work truck and he didnt need all the power stuff and got an awesome deal for this model) what i want to know is how hard is it to add the actuators on this, the actuators are the dei 524t, standard 2 wire actuators i know how to hook them up but i was wondering how hard is it to mount them in a location which would be easy to operate and install. I havent taken the door panels off yet so i was just wondering.
I have access to directechs and our own company database for wiring colors so does anyone have experiences on this car they wish to share?
ps ive been in the car audio business for about 3yrs now 1.5yrs sales and 1.5 years installation and this website
had been a tremendous help in both fields and thats all thanks to its members, so i just wanted to say thanks.

I haven't had the opportunity to have to take apart the door panels to add actuators but chances are there will be plenty of room in the door panel to install the actuator, the only problem ( or set back ) would be if Ford switched over to cable actuated door locks or are still using the rod type door locks. Wiring will be the same for both scenarios but will be a little harder to do with the cable type system.

the new fords still use the rod type doorlocks, so that part should not be too difficult. But you will want to take a look at forbidden's sticky post on wiring through molex connectors(great post by the way!). The new trucks have molexes on the doors. Luckily if it is a work truck it wont have any wires going into the connectors besides speaker wires and doorpin wires so there should be plenty of open slots to put your wires through. ------------- Life moves pretty fast; if you don't stop and look around once in a while; you could miss it.

yea it does not have power windows or doorlocks so it should only be the speaker lines and the doorpin, and the molex boot looks huge and i can see it from the driver kick panel easily. As for the tach wire is there a place inside the cabin i can find it like the bcm or tachometer (im sure i can find it here haha) and the color of the wire i would like this to be a super clean install, there is so much room under the steering column that once you look under it you can easily see the alarm wires so ima going to try to tuck the brain as high as possible and tape, tube, and maybe shrink wrap all the wires.
What do you guys suggest? i know bout mounting the brain first, cut wires to length and keep it up against existing wires but anything else from the veterans?
