Those are actually plug ins for specific vehicles. What they are saying is that those cars are upgradable with those parts but they won't fit anything else, nor will you have a wiring diagram to figure what all those wires do.
For cheap keyless entry you migh want to try one of these.

Available from Summit Racing and quite a few other places. Come with complete instructions. You can use one as keyless entry only and not bother with hooking up the alarm part if you want. I believe you'll need to buy at least one extra relay to go with it. I'm not sure, but I've got the instructions for one out in the garage somewhere if you want to know. Relays are also to be found at Radio Shack and such.

If you decide to go after market, let me know. I just did mine with a remote starter. Total cost about $60. I have the wiring diagrams if you need em. Also whatever unit you get should come with wiring instructions. This is a site that for a couple of bucks, will send you the location and color of the wires in your truck.

Good for wire location and color, but they had a typo on the wiring of the relays. Look on the net for wiring diagrams for keyless entry and you will see what I mean when you compare em. Lucky for me, i had already printed the other diagrams and found the error before I roasted anything.

On the Broncos, the wiring for the door locks is a 5 wire reverse polarity setup. Really common but a little odd. You will need to get 2 relays that are very common and cost about $5. They are a standard relay and I got mine from Cars Toys. Just tell them what you are doing and ask for the Bosch door lock relays. Let me know if you need more info. I think I still have alot of it on my system.
