Adding Keyless Remote to 1993 940 900

Spook:

You have to be one of the most thorough people I have encountered. I am an engineer and have been accused similarly, but you are better. What do you do for a living? If you are a heart surgeon I know where I'll go if I need an operation.

I agree, the FAQ link appears to be for a car w/o power door locks. What I am finding is that if it already has power door locks you basically need two things: an actuator for the drivers door (only the other three doors have one as the drivers door is actually locked manually with the key or by pushing down the lock post - when it does not have keyless remote), and a receiver to receive the fob signal. Then the receiver can send a signal which locks the driver's door, which in turn locks (or unlocks) the other three. The fix will not enable one to unlock the driver's door with one push of the fob, then the others with a second push.

I've decided not to go the junk yard route. I really do not want to buy those parts as they are already 10+ years old and sitting out unprotected in the rain/sun for some time at the yards. I will most likely pay an accessory place $200 to put in new after market stuff. What do you think?
