Yes, you can do this. I had a 2000 Ranger, with an aftermarket viper system. They installed power door locks in both doors and gave me two remotes. However I didnt have any swicthes on the inside. And I dont see a problem with just having the power door lock on one door, but what the heck you are going to all that trouble you might as well put both. Also I paid $400 for my setup.

www.bought4less.com has keyless entry for like $35 and door lock motors for $15 each
about 2 hours of time, and $65 and you have it all.

stupid stupid idea.... I've been installing for 15 years professionally and since the remote starts come out in the last 10 years I have seen numerous occasions where people have done just that. Bypassed the clutch saftey switch for a remote start on a manual transmission. It always ends in tragedy. One slip up and you are either fixing your car or the other persons your car bucked into or even worse. When I was manager for Circuit City Roadshop my old installer put one on his Toyota pickup and was outside showing the customer that he had one on his manual transmission. His truck slammed into the side of the store and he had to pay $2700.00 for brick repair to the building. There are however newer systems out now that can be installed into the vehicle. They require you to leave the car running in neutral with the parking brake pulled. You press the button on the remote and then remove the key. The vehicle will stay running to ensure that it is in fact in Neutral. Then you exit the vehicle and close the door. The vehicle will then shut down. If you happen to open the door before remote starting it the system will prohibit you from remote starting the vehicle until you repeat the process. This will ensure that it is in Neutral. We installed a system like this made from Clifford Alarm on a vehicle. Somehow the brain went Nutz and actually allowed the customer to start the vehicle in gear. Circuit City was not liable for the installation because we had the customer sign a waiver releasing liability of the installation. The customer knew he was taking chances. His truck hit the gas meter outside his place of business. Luckily just grazing the unit. I just don't trust 'em.
