Default power locks in my dx?

i was wondering how do i run power door locks using the oem honda actuators and switches. Do i need the door lock control unit, or can i just run it off a relay?

i wanna do that too. I was gonna get a car alarm to unlock the doors and lock them remotely, Can this be done on a dx? Also would like a trunk opener on the keychain remote.

Yeah I have aftermarket actuators in my sedan also. They work great but are a b*tch to mount and wire.

I think all alarms lock and unlock the car. Yes you can get a power trunk release. you can even do the gas tank for whatever reason. www.autoloc.com

i've had power locks added before. it' only locked the doors, when you arm, but i forgot if it unlocked. anyhow they only charged me $130 for both doors and the alarm install.

$100/door is a little high, but not out of this world. MSRP on the actuators is about $20, and most places will charge you $60 in labor per door. Shop around to see if you can find it cheaper.
