I picked up this keyless entry system from Autozone today.  I had $20 on my Autozone rewards car so I only paid $30 bucks!  Would you be able to post the wiring specifics that apply to our cars?  Also, did you have to buy the optional relay for the parking lights and for the trunk?  I have an EVTM and can do wiring pretty well but I figured I would ask since you just went through it.

Sorry i didnt post the wiring info yet. I gotta pull the kick panel and write down what colors i used. I'll try to do it tomorrow after work. For the lights, I ended up using the relay they give you for the start disabler. The harness they give you with the relay had to be altered and the colors in the instructions dont apply to that harness, so I had to use common sense.

Awesome, thanks!  I was thinking about using the supplied relay for the lights also.  I wasn't planning on using the starter disable just out of paranoia that the unit will fail and I will get stranded somewhere, lol.  I probably have another relay laying around that I could use for the trunk too.

I just finished installing the keyless entry.  It's awesome!  Pretty easy to do too.  I installed mine under the passenger seat.

Nice job! I was a little paranoid about using the start disabler too. People are always having issues with those things. One of my friends just had to remove an aftermarket system from his truck for that reason. Sorry I wasn't much help. I had to leave the car at work so I could take my van home this week. The lights appear to be working exactly like mine.

You were plenty of help!  I wouldn't have gone out and got the kit if it weren't for you going first, lol.

Last summer I found a NOS Ford remote system. It is intended to be installed by the dealer. I think it was about $50 also. My Cougar has the keyless entry system so it was a fairly easy project. Mostly laying upside down under the dash. It is nice to open the trunk remotely.

Any pics? I'd like to check out the remote.
