How hard do you think it would be to install? I can do some sodering, cutting wires and stuff but if it goes much further than that, i think I might need help

Is not that hard if you have a good instructions manual and some knowdlege of basic electronics, If I was you I get a better quality one like this one:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...%3AIT

I had this one on my 240, upgrading to a clifford matrix, thats the only reason Im getting rid of it.....

its quite easy to install the any system. took me and my brother about an afternoon(it started raining so it slowed us down and i dont have a garage) Plus my brother and stepfather are electricians that might be why it was real easy too

It's not that hard. I installed one on a car that did not have automatic door locks or anything. You just need to know how to read the instructions, basic knowledge of the necessary tools, and some patience.

yea thats basically all you need.

ah man, i found out i need to get power door locks too, i cant believe i didn't figure that out earlier. nevertheless i bought some anyway, hopefully that wont be too hard either.

that's a fairly easy install. Well it was on my cougar i had. Not sure how ti will go in a 240

[smokin240]

yeah, im just wondering how im going to get the wires from inside the door panel to wherever they get there power source. I have a feeling im going to be doing some drilling.

i have an alarm system im my 240, wasnt that hard to install

[drifter_for_life06]

you might not ahve to drill if yopu can find where speaker wires etc. are wired and pull wire through that.
