Nice Surprise

The following review is for DLA1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I have a 96 Jeep Cherokee XJ, plain jane. I put remote start on it several years ago and the remote had keyless entry. I got tired of using key unlock the doors. I bought 4 of these actuators and to my surprise these bolted directly into existing holes in the doors. I bought some linkage retaining clips at the auto parts store and cut and bent the supplied link rods to size and slipped them into the factory holes for electric locks and a couple of 12vdc-SPDT relays later I have perfect working keyless entry. Install time was 15 minutes per door and another 30 minutes to run wires and hook up relay to remote starter.

Solid inexpensive Remote Start/Door Lock/Unlock

The following review is for E5-2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Nice compact factory FOB replacement that adds remote start. Can be adjusted to to 1x/2x/3x remote start safety start with 4 different programmable run times as well as single or dual stage door unlock. Better range than factory remote starts in two of my other vehicles.

Stupid easy install with iDatalink transponder bypass in 2-way data mode.

I DO NOT like the lock function on the main 2-way FOB though. You have to press both buttons together to lock which can be difficult and is definitely annoying. Add a third button for crying out loud.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend if you want a no-frills aftermarket remote start. I've put in several dozen starters and alarms, this is as straightforward as they come. So far, it has been reliable.

These are great!!

The following review is for DLA1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I was sceptical of buying a part that cost so much less than the factory original part, but don't be. These actuators installed smoothly and work perfecto!

This part get the job done!

The following review is for DLA1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I use this parts to replace the passenger side sliding door original factory actuators of my 1989 Toyota Sienna. I recommend it because the DIY fix is quite simple and straight forward. So far the repair has hold up. I got this part through EBay after reviewing other buyers comments on the seller. This part is reasonably prized that I figure that there is very little down side. If one of the factory actuator fails, chances are the other one will fail soon; that's what mean-time-between-failure is for. So might as well get two, IMO.

Works as intended.

The following review is for DLA1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Installed this in place of the normal actuator that Dodge puts in some of there trucks. Was easy to install and works just as good as the original equipment.

Solid unit easy install

The following review is for E5-2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I have used the Encore line of products for several years now and they are all very solid units. I like the affordability of the two way units. Everyone I know likes having the confirmation beeps without paying hundreds for it.

Decent

The following review is for E5-2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I recently purchased this unit and so far there's more good than bad. As others said small compact unit easy to locate a space under dash to hide, long range, and great price. I was a little misinformed or misled by it listing built in by pass as feature to find out that it still requires a separate unit it has built int support for a few by passes. Lastly is the lack of information for installer, I have been installing mobile electronics since I was 16 now 40. I installed it in a 97 right in the time I was really involved in the industry and cannot find or get the full installation manual for that model.
Overall I would suggest the E6 first but E5 is not a bad choice.

Great value for a 2way remote starter

The following review is for E5-2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I haven't installed yet but it looks promising. I was looking for a decent keyless entry system for an older car (1989 Nissan 240SX hatchback) but I'm always a sucker for having a remote start option. This kit fits the bill just right, ease of installation, quality, and affordability.
