Having what look factory? the FOBs? I would absolutely love to have OEM FOBs, but not for the Premium cost of finding a VKE.

The wiring will not be plug and play, it will be wires tapped into other wires and the door lock wires have to be cut and spliced due to the nature of the Power lock design of our cars. if you look at the Batee Link I posted a picture shows the VKE 1000 box with a price of $99. That would be the MAX I would pay for a VKE that was manufactured 10+ years ago.

If you want to keep it factory, then that would be installing nothing and using the key to unlock the door.

Keep in mine if you install a keyless system and shut the doors and lock the car with the key fob, the factory alarm is not set. The way the factory alarm is set or armed, is door/s open, Key out of ignition, then hit the power lock button.

I have my system wired to disarm on unlock, and I am still figuring out the arm with door shut..

EDIT: the 2101L is essentially the VKE-1000.. I mean the wiring is 98% the same. for a fraction of the price. I have that same one, but an older model with older remotes. The trunk button on mine says Aux, I don't have it connected currently, as I use the second pulse of the Unlock for the Hatch release. I might rewire it for the aux wire though

the first one you posted looks great for $35. I had a 94 with the passive keyless entry, it annoyed the **** out of me whenever i stood by or washed/worked on my car

That was me. No bites so I decided to keep it. Didn't know the system isn't armed with the remote lock. Might sell it if somebody wants it. I paid $200 for it.

Does anyone have a how to guide for installing the Avital 1 way keyless entry system? I do a lot of mechanical stuff but not electronics.
