just go to princess auto, they have what you need at over half that price. I think about $10 ea

The ones at princess auto dont do central locking like that kit. You would need either an alarm or a remote starter to interface with. If you have one or the other than its definatly cheaper to go the princess auto way.

I installed that Autoloc PowerLoc kit on my 95 Talon about 3 years back.... never had any problems with it. Works flawlessly... haven't even had to replace the batteries in the remotes :thumbup:

I bought the kit from princess auto. Make sure you ask the right guy the first guy i ask told me that product does not exist. Anyway it is installed in my car and works great (took about an 1 1/2 hour for 2 doors) when i get my alarm and starter in tomorrow they are hooking it up to the remote. Thanks for all of your help.

you can build relays to make them central lock

some cars are a bitch to go thru the door boot or to mount the acuators, i've prob installed like 100 of them, tiburons are the worst so far(skylines are easy tho!)

I never found the Tib to be that hard, what body style are you refering to?

On the box that i bought it is called a central locking system. In the box there are 4 actuators with rods and mounting brackets and then the control module. There are no remotes the way it is set up is the main actuator goes on the driver door so what ever happens to the driver door the other doors do the same. So if you unlock the driver door the other doors unlock. If you have a remote system already on your car then it interfaces with it very easily.

Even that would work for me. When I lock or unlock the drivers door, all the rest do the same, that would be good.
