Keyless entry?

[saburai]

Howdy Gang!

What all do I need to buy to remotely trigger the door locks on my '94? If it were the expedient solution, I'm not opposed to a basic alarm system. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
TIA

I used the Viper 211HV in my Thunderbird and it's been working flawless for abt. 5 yrs. now.
Shop around some, I'm pretty sure I got mine abt. $10 cheaper than what Amazon shows.

Thanks for the input! I have a key fob remote for keyless entry on my front door. Now if I could just find a remote that would work on the truck and the house I'd be cooking with fire!

You know there's apps for that? Lol

Does the Viper have to interface with the ECM on the vehicle? Or is it a stand-alone box that I would just have to pigtail my door lock solenoids into?

It's stand alone, pretty easy hook up once you identify the lock/unlock wires and if it's - or + trip.

Thanks! I noticed it has extra channels, does it learn? I have keyless entry on my front door and it would be really good to have both on one fob...

Extra channels are trunk pop and dome light.

I have systems in both my 91 F250 and my 93 Suburban. Nothing fancy. Maybe $20 on Amazon and the instructions were a joke, but they work just fine. I hid the units in behind the kick panel.

Thanks, do you have a link to what you used?

You don't have a ecm.
Personally I like the 2 way systems.

Yes, I know. You're not the only rocket scientist on The Block
The fact that we don't have an ECM is precisely why I was asking the question...
Since you chimed in, do you have any input on a system that would work with my keyless door entry on my RV as well as the truck?

 

[79jasper]

Most of the kits are fairly universal.
Now working with the factory keyless entry, I'm not entirely sure. But I also don't know that it would be much different.

I used different ones, for no good reason really.

A how-to that I wrote, posted on the 'other' site: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/...ll-but-applies-to-obs-as-well.html?styleid=26

BTW, skip my comments re: using Bulldog. I installed their unit and it was crap. The cheap chinese kits have been rock solid.
