 Simple Keyless Entery April 5, 2010
W. Simard
At first I did not like the fact that the unit does not have on-board relays for the parking lights. Then I remembered that all the previous units I have installed that had the on-board relays have given me trouble.
If you are looking for a simple keyless entry with as few wires as possible, this is for you.
I had the most complex door locks ( Ford ) that required me cutting the wires, but that was only 4 wires, and then there are the 2 power wires and a ground.
Pretty simple for an vehicle that does not have factory alarm. The unit has a wire for factory alarm if you need it.
Most cars with factory alarm already have keyless entry, so not an issue.
Good Price.
Great product.. February 17, 2010

I used this product in conjunction with the door-lock kit to have keyless entry in a 91 Geo Metro.. Worked perfectly !!

This is a great product once installed. It works well & receives the signal from the remote for quite a distance. Instructions for installation could be better. Even though I had installed one before I had difficulty with it because of the lack of clarity in them.
Bulldog KE1702 - clean, simple, exactly what I was looking for November 17, 2009

The 95 Accord I recently purchased had standard power locks. However, the driver's door had been tampered with to the point that the cylinder was totally disconnected from the lock, forcing me to have to go around and unlock from the passenger's side every time. Needless to say, this was quite annoying. After considering trying to fix the mechanical parts, I stumbled across this unit and figured it would be a cheap, practical way to bypass the problem entirely while adding more overall convenience to the vehicle. Amazon delivered it promptly as always, and it was exactly as described and pictured. I chose to install only the basic lock/unlock functionality as I have no need for light flash, starter kill, etc. So far the unit performs perfectly in this capacity. Range is at least 25-30 feet, even without the antenna wire installed in a straight line as they suggest. The remotes seem to be high quality: the buttons are soft but firm rubber, and the case has a rubberized feel and a tiny LED that lights up to confirm a button press.
Anyone attempting to install a device like this should have a decent knowledge of basic electronics, including the 12v vehicle electrical system as well as how to properly splice wires and use a multimeter or other voltage measuring tool (a simple test light will suffice). It's also important to be somewhat familiar with your vehicle's interior, knowing how to take off door and/or dash panels. Keeping that in mind, the instructions provided were quite adequate. The URL they gave for more vehicle-specific info was somewhat helpful, but their suggestions were a bit vague and (in my opinion) not optimal. A repair manual of some sort can also be handy here (my Haynes Manual has been quite helpful). My install required only four connections. Bulldog suggested tapping into the ignition harness for a constant 12v, which sounds to me like asking for trouble. I chose to tap into the "memory" wire for my stereo receiver (it's the yellow wire, not the red "power" wire) as it was easier and carries less potential for problems. The lock and unlock connections were just as simple, being in the door between the switch and the lock control unit. My car had a grounded plate with an empty threaded hole in a perfect location under the dash (thank you, Honda engineering). When plugged in, the unit worked immediately with no programming or anything required.
In summary, it's exactly what I was looking for. For 40 bucks, I'd buy it again and I'd recommend it to others. Just remember that when doing anything yourself, research is your friend. You can never consult too many manuals, web resources, etc. and the more you know before starting, the less headaches you'll encounter later in the process.

I can't honestly say I can recommend ANYTHING from Bulldog. I have had 3, 2 have broken. Supposedly they have a lifetime warranty, but if they never answer the phones, or emails, that's not worth the paper it's printed on. Maybe the price is right, so if you are technical that's a plus, but don't count on any kind of warranty being honored if you have any trouble. Supposedly they were liquidated in May 2007, yet their phones still answer and put you on hold ten minutes. Even stranger, if you try to email their tech support email, it's actually addressed to accounting...
