did u do the install yourself?

 

yeah i did. followed the DIY and it feels good not having to use the key (died on me a few months ago).

the only thing that cost me a lot of time was making the custom bracket to hold the 5$ actuator. i bought 2 just in case so i have a 1 spare. ill sell it to you for 6$.

 

nice u think u can help me out sometime,? do i really need custom bracket? will the $5 actuator actually work be reliable?

 

yeah for sure. hit me up.

you do need a custom bracket cus its not oem. there is nothing that will hold it/align it without this bracket. it has to be mounted. just go to home depot, and get some ~2" flat sheet metal that is strong but also bendable. its like 2-3$.

ive only had mine for a week since the install so i cant personally say its reliable. it sounds strong though. you can hear it when you lock/unlock. only time can tell... kinda why i bought 2 just in case i screwed up the first time, it died, or my passenger side went out. on the DIY thread "manny" says his has been good for a while....
