I second the opinion on Autoloc systems.  I installed
a remote keyless entry system and remote trunk
solenoid and they both failed. They gouge you on
shipping and it took 3 days from Portland to Seattle
via UPS ($13 on something that weighs less than 2
pounds)!!?! Having to pay shipping both ways for
warranty replacement made it just not worth it. They
also gouge you on relays and wiring harnesses that
they try to push on you. (Not included in kits) The
suck you in using attractive prices, but they kill you
on everything else. Stay away!
