    I have a 2000 Elantra GLS with factory installed electric door locks.
    Can an after market keyless entry system be installed on this auto?

    If yes;

    - Does it affect the warranty?

    - Does it affect any wiring, i.e. cutting shields, etc?

    If no;

    - Why not?

    TIA

    It should be simple to install aftermarket keyless in this car, since it
    already has power locks.

    Any failures caused by the installation or operation of the keyless system
    won't be covered by your factory warranty, but that's either expired or
    soon to expire on a 2000.

    The keyless module will need power and ground and will need to tap into
    the power lock system.

    I have a Four door 2001 Elantra with similar door locks.
    Just out of curiosity does the power lock only open all
    the doors from the driver's door?
    And the front passenger door lock just open only the passenger
    door?
    On my old Mitsubish Galant opening either the front door locks
    unlocked all the doors.

    I haven't experimented with this to see, but from what I can make of the
    schematics:

    If you have the factory keyless entry system, either front door will
    lock/unlock all doors. This is especially unclear because the ETACS
    module receives separate ground input from each front door when it's
    locked, but receives a ground signal if any of the rear doors is locked.

    If you don't have the factory keyless system, only the left front will
    lock/unlock all doors.

    Mine is 4 door, also. Door locks can only be unlocked(and locked),
    electrically, from the driver;s door.

    I just tried one with keyless entry, and the doors lock/unlock if either is
    operated.

    From the looks of the schematic, it's impossible for models without
    keyless entry to operate that way. For them, it would be driver's door
    only.

  7. But on my 2000 Sonata, all the door locks are controlled in unison from
    only the front passenger lock. In other words, unlocking the front
    passenger door with the key or with the inside tab switch unlocks all
    the doors on the car; the driver's door switch does not. This seemed odd
    to me at first, but when I really thought this through, I realized that
    this logic is brilliant. If you think real good, you'll get it also.
