   I actually just finished the install of my keyless entry 
system yesterday.... it was actually not that big of a problem
to overcome.  I added one aftermarket actuator below the 
factory actuator for the central locking system.  I then spent
a while bending the metal rod for the aftermarket actuator
so that it would line up with the factory setup.  After I had 
it all secured into place, it was just a matter of running wire
to the actuator and wiring it properly.  Not really too difficult.
It just took me a long time since I had never done it before...
