Keyless Entry
Has anyone installed a keyless entry?
I have a '92 and would like to add this feature (convenience) if it is available.
Can this be done as a DIY project or is it better to have a shop do it?
Is there particular brand that is best?
Thank you for responding. This forum is a great asset to all of us.

I have a Viper kit on mine and had Best Buy install it. I am happy with the results and bought the components to add control for the windows, hatch, remote start, and interior lights.

Let me say installing a aftermarket alarm system is not for the faint of heart in a C4.
I had one of the big box chains install it on sale after I first got the car many, many years ago. The sale included free installation. The installers had to work on it for 12 hours! They did a great job, and it worked perfectly, but they sure lost their shirt on that.
BTW - the VIPER died earlier this year and I decided to install a push-to-start system. It took me weeks! I would definitely leave it to the professionals.

Installed a bulldog 4 years ago. No problems. Works well with the factory alarm.

I installed the K-9 Mundail-SSX my self in a couple of hours, I used the included starter kill relay for the hatch release and bought the door lock module. Of course I had to bypass the clutch safety switch and remove the vats system, but the factory alarm only goes off once in a while. I can supply the schematics and full instructions to anyone that needs the help.
