OSOLMIO Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Has anyone installed aftermarket remote door lock/unlock solenoid mechanisms? Is there a brand that you would recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MChester Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) Mine is part of the Crime Stopper alarm system. Works great, easy to install, and cheap. Love having remote keyless and trunk pop ability. I used thier solenoid for the trunk. Honda should have put this on the SI back in the day. Oh well.

It needs a new alarm system anyway and I wil lhave to go remote release on the trunk when the cable has stretched so far there is no more take up left in it and it is almost there.

cmgogo Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 using 3.99 ebay specials now for about a year, only problem ive had is I didnt tighten the rod stays enough so i gotta pop the panel off and tighten the set screws, other than that, they have worked perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocifero Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Seems pointless when they could just easily break a window. A good alarm is a much better investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MChester Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) you have trunk pop i want trunk pop It sure comes in handy when I'm coming out to the car with an armload of stuff that's gotta go in the trunk. Makes putting the roof away a little less of a pain too. Now I just need to get new trunk stay cylinders that will push up the lid on their own.

Velocifero Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'm not sure I get your point? Seems like he wanted something to remotely lock and unlock his doors. Every car alarm on the market does this, as well as deters thieves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Has anyone installed aftermarket remote door lock/unlock solenoid mechanisms? Is there a brand that you would recommend? Are you asking about taking a car that doesn't have power locks and installing a power lock solenoid with remote entry? If so....I did this to my wife's prism when she had it using the ebay kits. Worked great and we never had any problems with it. Took me about 3-4 hours to get installed on all 4 doors, but worked great once I was finished. My only complaint was that the remote was super sensitive and I would constantly lock/unlock the doors with the keys in my pocket. Was a good investment though for the small amount of money to be able to get kids loaded in the rain without having to manually unlock all the doors.

It has power door locks but not remote power door locks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Yeah I'm pretty sure if you buy an alarm it will give you the remote lock capability. And if a theif wants your car, the alarm may save you 5-10 seconds on the break in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 It has power door locks but not remote power door locks. Then why do you need new power door lock solenoids as you put in your first post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every car alarm on the market does this, as well as deters thieves. Oh OK? So did you not see where I wrote that this is exactly what I installed including the trunk remote solenoid? Either I am being thicke or you didn't read the entire thread. In any case, it's not important. Nice nearly communicating with you.

SolMusic Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Take a look at the Toad alarm systems. I've got one installed on mine, and when it was fitted it added remote door locks... In fact anyone who actually likes their car should probs get one fitted!! Unless u like the idea of ur car going bye bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmgogo Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 stripped actuator rods. Take off door panel, and tighten the screws that clamp your actuator rod to your push arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
