Alarm
 
Do you have to have automatic locks to get a alarm system. I have manuel locks and was wondering if it would work.

no you just wont be able to hook up keyless entry. everything else will still be the same

Lord Of War 04-28-2006 12:51 AM

Anyone know of a cheap alarm?

2003stealthedge 04-28-2006 01:19 AM

u could probably get a cheap viper on ebay. Since you dont have power door locks that alarm install should be simple as hell

Some people say that if you get these, door lock actuators, then you can have the doors that lock.

I had manual locks to begin with. When I had my Audiovox alarm installed, I also had the door actuators installed. Now I have keyless entry.

I figure it isn't hard to put them in.

I think in the 2 1/2 years I have had my truck I have put the key in the door maybe six times, less chance of scratching the door around the key hole. I like it.
