have you asked any dealer if it already had this type equipment on it ? i'am sure it can be done but i belive it is expensive the pass key pad has to be able to send a signal to the door lock module so it can send voltage or a ground to the locks. my suggestion to you is take it to a aftermarket place where the do keyless entry and just have it priced.if you don't have much know how on it i wouldn't tackle it would causemorr greaf that you could even know if you hooked up a wrong wire some where you could fry your whole wiring harness.(NOS) 8)

Any vehicle with power locks can be connected to a keyless entry system. With a circuit tester light, it's quite simple. There are "Do-it-yourself" kits that are affordable. Check your local O'Reilly's Auto or Autozone. You can pick one up for about $50 or $60. As I said, it's fairly simple, but can be time consuming. To do it yourself, be prepared for the job to last a couple of hours, if not more. The key fobs that come in the kits can be programmed to the system you install. The best kit I have found, so far, is made by Bulldog Security. You can check out their website, too. www.bulldogsecurity.com
