adding keyless entry/alarm to 93 944T 900

Yes, there's a switch but no solenoid. The packaging (modulo being mirrored) is identical between left and right doors, but the left door only contains a switch, and the right door only contains a solenoid (at least in the LHD version - swapped for countries that drive on the left). When you turn the key in the driver door you manually open that lock and trigger the switch to activate the other doors. Hooking up the kit in parallel would result in all doors but the drivers door opening. The Volvo kit includes a solenoid/switch replacement unit for the drivers door, and of course the receiver/relay and transmitters. With aftermarket kits you'll need to add a solenoid yourself, the 700/900 faq has some pictures and suggestions on modifying a 700 one. I consider myself lucky for having parted out a UK 940, so I now have a pax side switch and driver side solenoid, which I will combine with the driver side switch and pax side solenoid to get a car that can be opened on the key from both sides and will also work with the aformentioned aftermarket remote locking kit.
