Hello, I have recently bought 1986 Corvette convertible in US and the car is now on the way to me to Europe. Once it comes, I will do some service and also I would like to add keyless entry there.
Thank you, can you recommend me type of aftermarket system and where to buy it? I looked for GM VKE1000, but I can't find any shop that sells it.
Sorry, I can't recommend anything specific. The VKE1000 looks like a good alternative if you can find one for sale. If it were me I would just search the internet until I found something that looked good. Or stop in at some stereo installation shop and talk to the people there.
GM stopped selling the VKE1000 MANY years ago. There might be one sitting on a shelf somewhere. A Google search might find one.
I have a VSS 200 (the predecessor to the VKE1000) on my car. The instructions are VERY good and they tell you exactly how to test to make sure you're connecting to the correct wire.
Ready Remote. The instructions are very poor, so you need to be pretty competent with electronics, but I'm very happy with its performance!
Lock, unlock doors (interior lights come on), parking lights flash, hatch release, and control of the factory alarm. I've modified my antenna to allow me to leave it any position, so it's sometimes up when I want to install my car cover. I can lower my antenna with the remote, even if the car is locked. No additional power relays required.
When it comes time for the installation, there's lots of room for the unit behind your stereo, on top of the trans hump.
