hey everyone, i did some research, but havnt got nothing too good, who has did or tried keyless entery on thier crx/civic hb? i did the 4dr rear handles on my civic hb and wanna do a keyless entry, i already have my wire runing to the doors from the alarm and works with pad, just need some pics or sites for the install, any help would be appreciated thanks.

ps like what brand and how they mounted it in the door etc. thanks in advanced

just get an alarm put in and have them add door actuators to unlock your door when you disarm the car. I had them to also put an actuator in the hatch to pop that when I want to go in it. My car has been painted and they painted the keyholes too. An actual key has never touched any of the key holes except the ignition.

no do them your self i have done them b4 on my old hb its tricky to mount the actuators but it is posible with out modiffing any thing if i remember corectly you can mount them right were the arm res sticks out right behind the bracket

I just did mine.. I will try to get pics when I replace my door panels..

superhatchbackbros

k thanks.

maybe some direction is all you needed..

I bought some 1 1/2 inch #8 metal screws

and put the actuator in line with the door lock rod..

which put the mounting hole near one of the holes to secure the door panel.

Drilled a hole and screwed in the actuator.

so the screw went through the sheet metal first then the actuator.

then I got some 3 or 4 inch brackets.

Put a couple of bends in them to mount them from the actuator tothe sheet metal.

Hope this helps till I get a pic

ok here is the way i did mine i went to the junk yard and grab the factory lock actuators of a 4 door ef with power locks of course you just need the actuators not the latch.it all bolts up. take the latch and actuator out of the donor car and you will see 3 screws holding the actuator to the latch remove and save. also there is a little plastic peice that you have to wiggle free change over to you stock latches and then all you have to do is install you alarm and run the correct wiring to the lock side note there is only 2 wires to the actuator one is going to get power and the other ground to lock then you reverse the 2 and then it will unlock. i can upload pictures of them already installed in my doors but i didnt take pictures when saping everything over. i am willing to do a wright-up on this is more people want me to. if you have 88-89 door some of the plastic case of the actuator need to be trimed i never try on a 90-91 door but i thing you shouldnt have a problem.
also if you wanted try taking out the rear door actuator from the 4 door ef and see ifs smaller i just modified the front ones i got. i need to upload the pictures i have to photobucket.

Ok what I did for Power door locks on my CRX
Tools needed
Phillips Head Screwdriver
Wire Cutters
2 SPDT 30a Relays or
Factory power door lock relay
and any other tools you think you might need.

Start off going to the junk yard and find a 88-91 Civic 4 DR
I took the Front door latches out with lock actuators. i paid a couple dollar for the latch and lock actuators i also took the main door harness so this way i didnt have to run wire to the doors all ghetto, plus i also have power folding mirror so it just makes for a cleaner install.


Remove the door panel on the donor car and remove the 3 screws hold the latch and lock actuator in also disconnect the levers for the outter door handle and lock and also the inner door handle.

Remove the latch out of your car and lay side by side there you will see the 2 little screws the need to come out next.



Next seperate the actuator from the old latch if you didnt do it at the yard.
all thats next is to put the actutor on your old latch and put it back in the car.
I had a little probly with the actuator fitting in the 88 doors i have on my car so all i did was file down the outter plastic case alittle.

I had a idea after the fact to try and see if the rear doors on the 4 door civic actuators would fit and it they are diffrent shape.

I dont belive anybody should have a problem with 90-91 doors as there are a little thicker in the rear for the seat belts.(but i have not tested this out i just modified to fit my doors but after installing and testing everything works perfect.

Honda uses a two wire actuator so i am posting a wiring diagram
also i didnt install any switches inside the car as i didnt want them all you will need is the wiring diamgram and switches and some time wiring them



if there is any other questions let me know i will try and answer them
The alarm i am using is a Code Alarm model ca160 i have the diagram for that also but i figure all alarms with be diffrent.
