Remote Locks

Would it be possible to put a remote lock system in my 2003 F-250 XLT? I was just wondering because its kind of a pain at night to put the key in the door and unlock it with no lights around except my weak cell phone light.

Any help appreciated.

Yup. You can get an aftermarket alarm system that'll lock/unlock and even remote start it too if desired.

If you're capable of installing it, you can get them online anywhere. DEI makes a pretty solid line of products (Viper, Python, Clifford). I've used their Viper and Python line with pretty good success. My last aftermarket alarm on my 2000 SD was a Viper, was about 8 years old and still worked great. Remote start to get the cab warmed in the winter is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and likewise, for cooling it down in the summer.

A local (reputable) car audio shop can install one for you if you don't want to tackle it.

I'm assuming you already have power door locks in the truck (pretty sure you do). If you don't, actuators can be added.

Yeah I have power door locks. I had a Viper security system for my old dodge dakota and they worked great. Looks like I'm gonna try to get the Viper alarm system again. Thanks for the help.
