I just installed remote locking in my Mercedes last weekend.  I got an el
cheapo Audiovox unit for $50 from AutoZone.  Hooked up four wires and voila,
remote locks - 20 minutes time investment. I just opted for remote locks and
none of the other fluffy frilly bells and whistles.

I don't understand why you couldn't just tap into the factory wiring and use
the existing master actuator.   Honestly, I haven't investigated much, so
maybe I'm missing something fundamental here.
