Re: Hey WilleyBoy
Shaving the door handles was a pain in the A$$, but here is a couple of things i did.
1) If you do not mind not having door handles on the inside of the door. Take the driver side handle and cut the release mechanism of of it, do the same to the passenger side and reverse the door sides they were mounted on. Instead of bolting them to the door facing the inside of the seats, bolt them to the inside of the door facing the outside of the door. This gives you a guide track for the Selenoid wire. I mounted my selenoids to the bottom of the door, (you know the space where you would put a speaker) Oh yea, forget about mounting speakers in the door, not enough room.
2) Make sure you have a big capacity battery, these babies pull 30amps a piece.
3) to release the doors i have three ways,
A) remote control key fob
B) two momentary keyswitches mounted in the console
C) A supplied heavy duty smash button in the rear deck, accesible through the hatch.
4) Back up battery, i use a 7.0AH Dry cell battery in the small hatch compartment behind the seat. Quick connects (this battery is good for only one pull.
5) Its up to you, but if you have a totally Battery melt down, and you shave your hatch button......how are you going to get in the car????
6) I put security tint on the hatch and rear windows, and clear security film on the driver and passenger window, so you ain't getting into this Baby with anything less than a pickaxe!
Even if you get into the rear hatch, you have to have a midget get into the front seat through a series of support bars for the roll cage......then what?.......try to hot wire the doors open?.......easier to break into the BMW or Mercedes i alway like to park beside.
Any questions? You know where i am.
I also installed a rearview camera with a 5" monitor, a remote control stereo, a Alpine V-12 400wat amp, a upgraded Altinator and a 900 cranking amp Interstate Battery.
