I have an Electric-Life remote central locking kit which I willl
eventually fit to my key-only nonelectric Caravelle, along with
electric windows with remote window closer.

To operate the slider it might be an idea to transplant a set of
contacts from a Japanese vehicle, say a Previa, so as to have extra
terminals. Should be simple enough to do.
