Keypad Entry on my Mx3
Posted: June 24th, 2010, 3:41 am
Hey guys, since I stopped driving my Mountaineer every day, I've started to miss the keypad entry. It was pretty nice not having to worry about locking my keys in the car, which I do all too often.
Has anybody tried to install a keypad on their car?
I do have "power locks", but I am aware that I would have to put in a motor for the DS door lock.
I guess the 2 questions I would like answered are:
1) What would be the proper method for powering the keypad?
2) Where would good placement be? My girlfriend's Ford Taurus has it on the DS door handle, but a 5 button keypad would be pretty cramped on the MX3 handle. I don't mind having to fit it all, just wondering if anybody has any creative ideas.
Thanks!
