I purchased this car with all manual locks (and windows). Can I have automatic locks installed? Do you know what the cost would be? Can I purchase the parts and do it myself?
thank you

Strictly speaking, you can do anything with enough money, but to install auto locks on a car that doesn't have them originally won't likely be worth the expense unless you do it yourself.

this guide will rese the alarm

Can you do it yourself? Not to be sexist but a lady who has the dough to buy a new car isn't likely to be sufficiently mechanically incllined, nor have teh tools, to do it. You should get the car outfitted the way you want it in the first place.

In the end, suggest you or your assistant clean the car very nicely inside and out, polish and wax, detail the heck out of it and sell it yourself. Use the proceeds to buy the car you actually want, next time.

You can try get a trade-in value from the dealer and see what the net cost will be after trade-in and purchasing the new car. That's the real cost of the deal, and it won't cost anything to ask. But you should be prepared for some hard negotiating.

Not having installed an alram- or even knowing we had one we had no info on turning it off or resetting it. We found the fuse and removed it.

I have a Toyota corolla which has manual windows and lock. Can I get a Audiovox AA925 Remote Keyless Entry System installed on it. Will it allow me for the keyless entry

Many aftermarket products are sold. Check to make it is designed to work on your vehicle. IF it is, it should work.

How can I disable the security alarm system? It has a factory system and the horn blows and starter will not engage. I have tried all recommended things in the manual.

You cannot, it is programmed into the ecm.

I suggest just getting it fixed. It would be cheaper/

Try locking and unlocking the doors with the remote this works sometimes. Also try locking and unlocking them with the key.

By the way, is this a factory installed alarm system?
