Keyless entry!!

[marlon828]

Hi guys I know this has been discussed before in the forum but it’s been a few years and just wanted to hear from you guys with an updated answer

-Installing a keyless entry system into my 97’ what is the best keyless entry system?-

I'm looking at doing the same thing for 94. So I'm interested to hear about anything new. I've searched other posts but haven't really found anything new. Some talk on dealer-installed systems but nothing new.

I’d like to do the same. I’ve been looking for something very simple - essentially just lock/unlock - with the least amount of wire splicing. Perhaps even plug and play if it exists.

I've always been a fan of the viper systems or clifford.

I think if you're going to install a keyless entry system, you may as well install a remote starter. It's really not that much more difficult.

This is the thread I posted about installing a remote starter. I included wiring and connector information.

Cheers

I went with a Compustar unit from Best Buy. My son and I have the same units and they've been great for over 2 years. Both have remote start as well.

Compustar has a true keyless entry module called EZ-Go that locks and unlocks the car as you leave and approach it. EZ GO | Accessories | Compustar

Thanks guys! Looks like the last two guys used Compustar. I'm checking it out now. I like the add on for remote start and I was thinking of getting a unit that supported it as a bonus. My LC doesn't seem to already have an installed dealer system even though I have a red bulb above my AC/heater controls but I'll double-check all that. I appreciate the thorough notes from post #5. If I go through with my own install I'll definitely post my experience here.

I put an Avital system in mine about 4 years back. I have a feeling that Avital is owned by the same company as Viper. Mine has worked flawlessly ever since. It is a 2 way system so I know the status just by looking on the fob. This was the only install that i left to the professionals. At the time i only got them to do the remote entry and remote start but i was planning on going back and seeing if i can use a the other button on the fob to open and close the windows.
