I guess I'll just have to pick an alarm and get the wiring schematic and how
it actuates the stock power locks...

If you wanted to do the research on what actuators and relays would be
required and point me in the right direction to obtain them I'd appreciate
that... I'd even be willing to put together a pictorial FAQ for the website
with part numbers and measurements and everything. I'm shooting to have
this completed by the summertime. That way I could be big pimpin with auto
start and keyless entry all summer long. :-)
