I got it installed.
First a few words about the kit: It comes with a drivers door lock actuator, two remote controls, complete wiring and the control unit, all for $90 shipped. I'm very happy with it.
What it can do: Unlock drivers door with one press, all doors with two presses. Lock all doors with one press. Flashes driving lights and/or honks horn (once for unlock, twice for lock). Turns dome light on when you unlock the doors. Can automatically lock/unlock doors when you turn ignition on/off (I don't care for this feature). It also has a few other features (eg roll up/down windows, starter disable...)
Anyway, I'm really happy with it.

So, for anyone who wants to know, here's how I got it to work:
Goal: one press unlocks drivers door, two presses unlocks all doors, and pressing the lock button locks all doors (duh). Also, all normal locking works as before (ie key in door unlocks/locks all doors, and lock knob locks/unlocks all doors)
1. Connect the lock actuator to the lower section of the lock rod. (IPD says to connect it to the top half, this way it trips the central lock/unlock feature by way of the knob press/lift switch) Connecting to the lower section thus prevents all doors from being unocked (or locked) whenever the drivers door is unlocked (or locked).
2. Install the rest of the system per IPDs instructions.
3. Find the central locking wiring harness connector near the steering column. Three wires, red, green and black.
4. Splice the blue/white wire from the keyless entry control unit into the green wire of the cars central locking harness. This enables all other doors to unlock when the button is pressed twice.
5. Find the three wire harness (small wires) which connects the keyless entry control unit to the keyless entry relay pack. Splice a wire into the green wire of this harness. Splice this wire into the red wire of the central locking wiring harness. This triggers the car central locking to lock all doors when the lock button is pressed.
Done!
Now just to get the dome light and horn part to work. (tomorrow morning's project)
