Bulldog KE1702 - clean, simple, exactly what I was looking for Nov 17, 2009 By bakerm1031
The 95 Accord I recently purchased had standard power locks. However, the driver's door had been tampered with to the point that the cylinder was totally disconnected from the lock, forcing me to have to go around and unlock from the passenger's side every time. Needless to say, this was quite annoying. After considering trying to fix the mechanical parts, I stumbled across this unit and figured it would be a cheap, practical way to bypass the problem entirely while adding more overall convenience to the vehicle. Amazon delivered it promptly as always, and it was exactly as described and pictured. I chose to install only the basic lock/unlock functionality as I have no need for light flash, starter kill, etc. So far the unit performs perfectly in this capacity. Range is at least 25-30 feet, even without the antenna wire installed in a straight line as they suggest. The remotes seem to be high quality: the buttons are soft but firm rubber, and the case has a rubberized feel and a tiny LED that lights up to confirm a button press.

Anyone attempting to install a device like this should have a decent knowledge of basic electronics, including the 12v vehicle electrical system as well as how to properly splice wires and use a multimeter or other voltage measuring tool (a simple test light will suffice). It's also important to be somewhat familiar with your vehicle's interior, knowing how to take off door and/or dash panels. Keeping that in mind, the instructions provided were quite adequate. The URL they gave for more vehicle-specific info was somewhat helpful, but their suggestions were a bit vague and (in my opinion) not optimal. A repair manual of some sort can also be handy here (my Haynes Manual has been quite helpful). My install required only four connections. Bulldog suggested tapping into the ignition harness for a constant 12v, which sounds to me like asking for trouble. I chose to tap into the "memory" wire for my stereo receiver (it's the yellow wire, not the red "power" wire) as it was easier and carries less potential for problems. The lock and unlock connections were just as simple, being in the door between the switch and the lock control unit. My car had a grounded plate with an empty threaded hole in a perfect location under the dash (thank you, Honda engineering). When plugged in, the unit worked immediately with no programming or anything required.

In summary, it's exactly what I was looking for. For 40 bucks, I'd buy it again and I'd recommend it to others. Just remember that when doing anything yourself, research is your friend. You can never consult too many manuals, web resources, etc. and the more you know before starting, the less headaches you'll encounter later in the process.

A breeze to install... Feb 19, 2006 By Brad
Very cheap, easy to install keyless entry. The only thing holding it back from 5 stars it that out of the box, the range was horrible (10-15ft.) Not sure if this is a problem with old batteries, or if it just has poor range.

Update: The unit has now ceased to work at all. Still getting good power and ground, but unit refuses to operate. Dissapointing since I haven't had it very long.

Easy to install, good range Jul 06, 2009 By Viktor Lapinskii
The unit was easy to test and install and has a range of about 100 feet.

For basic testing, temporarily connect the power and ground wires and listen to internal relay clicks while pressing lock and unlock buttons on one of the remotes.

To get a good range, it is important to place the antenna wire as close as possible to the top surface of the dashboard so that there is no or little metal between the antenna and the dashboard plastic.

The package includes a relay for "starter kill". If you do not need that function, you can use the relay to take advantage of other capabilities that require a separately purchased relay (e.g., parking light lock/unlock confirmation).

The instructions in the documentation for pairing the second remote are apparently outdated. Here is a modified version that worked for me. Press and hold the "lock" button on an already paired remote for about 10 seconds until you hear an internal relay click inside the unit. Release the button on the first remote. Press and hold "lock" on the remote being paired. You should hear another click in the unit almost immediately. Release the button. The second remote should now work with the unit.

Great, but with one exasperating problem Nov 09, 2006 By Lightfoot fan
The install in our new Camry was straightforward enough, especially with all the info available on Bulldog's website. I elected to solder connections to make them more secure, though. The trouble is that it quits working from time to time (and it's not working now!), and so far it's been a grounding problem. I followed the directions for grounding explicitly, but this time I think I'll go for the fuse block or a soldered connection to an existing ground wire. I'll revise this review if it turns out to be something besides a grounding problem.

Those troubles aside, the system has worked flawlessy. Range has not been the problem that other reviewers seemed to have trouble with.

Disappointment May 08, 2007 By Tech Guy "Amazon Customer"
Bought in March and just got around to installing and it seems to be defective. Is this company still in business? Have emailed them 2 times, called 800 and long distance number. LD number rings busy and 800 say that they are closed and it's after hours. All mailboxes are full and no messages can be left. It's been like this for over a week now.
