Did both the auto door locks and power windows. Aftermarket on both of them, also. Honestly, could not be happier. Got the auto lock kit for $30 about 5 months ago and the auto window kit $65 with 2 motor assemblies a month ago, both off of eBay. Easy installation all around. One thing though, after about 3-4 months the auto locks would stop working randomly. This was due to my wiring job as I later found out. Still would highly recommend doing it.

Both of them are so off branded they don't have brands. Anything on eBay is all the same usually.

Could somebody link a kit off eBay that would work (and preferably for 65 bux!!). I'm having trouble finding a kit that will be plug and play as Mike indicated...thanks!

It looks like eBay doesn't have a very big selection anymore, actually none at all. And the kit I bought came with remote door locks, not just keyed.
