Can you have a keyless remote installed even if you have manual locks??

 

There are keyless entry systems you can buy and have installed, yes? If that's what you mean...

 

seriously.....some of the threads are just retarded... this is one


sigh.... you can get it if you replace the manuals with power...or use a coat hanger

 

no like i have manual locks and i was told you cant get a keyless remote installed if you have manual locks?? but i do not think that that is true

 

It's not.

Let's clear some things up: You're looking for KEYLESS ENTRY, right? POWER LOCKS?
You want to be able to hit a button your remote and and have your doors unlock?

Yes, you can have them installed. Yes, they're relatively cheap. Yes, it's easy to do.
No, you can't do it yourself.

 

ok thats what i needed to know thank you sir!

 

i know im just a new member but it doesnt take a rocket scientist to say that the guy above me ^^^ is a F@g. its a question and your job as a premium member is to help others since you have more years on the board, what a great job your doing.....


but anyway, ya just get the kit for it like everyone else said but i would get it professionally installed unless you know your electricity systems ; )

 

i am going to have to agree with you on your response there and thank you for input also

 

manual locks? this is 2008... even my 94 taurus has power locks

 

My Cobalt doesn't have power locks!

Welfare carrrr, I CHOOSE YOU!

 

Sure you can get keyless entry if you have manual locks. The only problem is that you will still have manual locks, so when you press the unlock button, nothings gona happen. duh.....

 

lol wow

 

Premium member is just for whoever pays the $10 a year to see stuff in the Dungeon, nothing special about them, with the exception of them supporting the site.

 

whats the dungeon.....sounds....child molestor like...

 

you even know how much money you could save buy buying a base line car, then just adding the keyless entry /w locks and the auto windows after market?? Like thousands.
Id be willing to bet on the baseline cobalt one with out power windows and keyless entry /w power locks is about 3 or 4 grand cheaper in the end to one that has those options

 

ya, pretty much

 

Bingo!

The two my dealership had instock at the time were identical, with the exception of power locks, windows, and mirrors -- and there was a $2700 difference!

 

i know i was just backin you up cause chevy cobalt was burnin on you. well not really burning on him but still.
I just saying some people are smart, you can buy that stuff aftermarket for like a fraction of the price.
or some people just cant afford it. Its not because its 2008

 

Aha, man!

I see what CC08 was sayin' though, heh.

But yeah, at the time I was recent grad and couldn't afford it at the time of purchase, anyway!

 

no its a 2005 and my limit was 10,000 and i NEEDED a more reliable vehicle for work and school my 94 lumina with 170,000 was not going to gut it for me plus gas yeah you can finish the sentence

 

Actually you can install the keyless entry yourself. You can buy the remote kits off ebay along with the actuators needed to physically unlock the doors when you hit the button. My buddy and I are installing them on my balt in a few weeks....wasn't there another thread awhile back covering this??

 

I believe all you would need for them to do is install power door lock actuators......not a huge deal.

 

Yeah...and I have a 2007 base model Cobalt that has manual windows and locks.

I did add lock actuators...well the dealer did, when I got the car. I also added some buttons on the dash to lock and unlock the doors. After that all you gotta do is get a keyless entry and wire it to the actuators. It really isn't that hard if you know intermediate electronics. I mean you're not doing a remote start install or anything....
