dose any one have aftermarket power/cetral locks in there starion or can i maybe get central locks out of any other mitsubishi like galant or lancer? but if any one has got aftermarket ones pics would be great

i do but dont have pic of it...me an friend did it urselves...was easy but time consuming...

They sell kits for something like $50 here, i got mine wired up with the alarm so it open and shuts with the alarms arm and disarm. also hooked the turbotimer up to it :P

yeh my mate an electrician...he wired it all up to my alarm

I wired up central locking with my uniden alarm - it was a bit of a pain fitting the actuators because the starion has locks that are different from most cars, just involved a bit of drilling in the door. It works a treat with the alarm, I couldn't live without keyless entry now :D

i went sohping for a kit today it cost somthing like 4500kr. or 85AU$ and i alreddy got a alarm system but havent put it in yet iam lerning to be an electrcian so it soulld´nt that mutch of a problem but thanks for the replys

all you need is a central locking kit from any cheap car shop, i got mine from Super Cheap Auto, cost me $30 and an hour or two to fit it.. its only 2 wires to connect it to an alarm. Makes life alot easier
and its no harder to do than any other car, in a starion the rod for the lock runs horizontal unlike other cars it runs vertical, either way you still have to drill 2 holes for each actuator and connect it to the rod for the lock... pretty simple..

because the rod runs horizontally its not as easy to find a place to mount the bracket - on doors with a vertical rod you are spoilt for choice of places to stick the actuator but with the starion you have to be careful that the plunger is running perfectly perpendicular to the rod, otherwise you will be replacing the actuator quickly.

I don't know what the super cheap auto actuators are like, mine looked like this:



I guess it would be easy if i had small carnie hands but you know what they say about people with large hands (it makes it difficult to install aftermarket central locking. and big gloves.)

yeah they are the same as the super cheap auto ones.. although i didnt use the piece pictured at the bottom in that pic.. just drilled holes in the inside piece of the door and screwed it straight through there into the actuator..

atleast with a starion you usually have 2 actuators left (due to 2 door kits not being much (if any) cheaper than a 4 door kit) so if you do stuff one up u have another 2 lol..

I installed remote central locking in mine a couple of weeks ago. It's reasonably easy - took me 3 hours to do it all.. I'll take some pics of the install tomorrow if ya want.

that would be great

Damnit, I forgot to do it today.. I'll take pics tomorrow - I promise.

Pics from the passenger door.

Far back so you can see where on the door I did it.
