Difficulty Installing Keyless Entry
I was snooping around JC Whitney today, and pondered across a Valiant Keyless Entry kit for $30. I am debating on buying this for my F-150...
I was wondering how difficult this system would be to install? It doesn't look all that bad, but then again, I could be wrong...
By the way, my F-150 has power windows, door locks, etc. already...
Thanks for any advice!

I would go with the JCW special. I installed a keyless entry (I think it was a Valiant) from JC Whitney on my crown vic with no trouble, but I am having trouble with putting a different brand on my 1995 F150.
The one from JC Whitney had built-in relays and installed exactly as per the instructions. I added power locks w/remotes on my son's Ranger and used a JCW special. One of the lock actuators went out and I found a replacement from commandocaralarms.com. The replacement is working just fine.
When I got my latest F150, I wanted to add keyless remotes to the existing power locks. I went back to the site where I got the replacement actuator. The site claimed that no other relay was needed, but I just found out that it won't work without one.
