	hi all, 
ive been thinking about what im gunna do about my power locking in my ra40 celica. i have the power locking mechanisms from a early cressida and have put them in and they work great. although the early cressida didnt have remote central locking. i was wonderin if i could just get a remote power locking system from  say a echo, camry ...etc. and rewire into my celica. are these things really complicated or would i be able to find the 'power in' wires and wires that go to the locking mechanisms. also would it be possible to remove the echo/camry key from the remote control and put my key in there?? 
is this worth it?? 
 
any ideas, opinions 
 
thanx

	i think it would be easier to adapt a jaycar central locking kit to the car - otherwise you have to decode the setup in whatever donor car you choose then rebuild it into your car.  
 
as for alarms and keys - get an alarm from somewhere that can drive cetral locking. 
 
whatever way you go...  electric locks and winders in an RA40 would be neat

	Yeah, an alarm/immobiliser with a remote is the best way to get remote central locking.  I did that in my old Supra and it was really cool... I'm planning to do the same thing with my new Supra.
