    Default Fleabay power door locks?

    Has anyone bought a remote door lock system set (actuators, remote etc.) off fleabay? I don't have one in my Miata and it's a real pain to open each door with the key .. It is pretty cheap (about $30 shipped) but is it any good?

    i wouldn't bc the reason the actuators are so expensive is due to the pull that it has and the quality of the product. i am an ex mini trucker and friends have bought them and they normally go out 2 days after the warranty expires i would get more quaility stuff if you want to be reliable.... and you have to watch out on those cheap bc the frequencies of the remotes. the last time my friends bought them 2 of them ordered at different times and when they installed them they could unlock each others doors

    lol haha .. now I certainly don't want that to happen! Any source for quality remote sets (w/actuators) that isn't super expensive? The ones available through Miata product resellers are reasonably priced ($100-150) but look like the same sets available on ebay.

    i would get the one through the miata resellers just bc it is probally a well built product and on ebay you can nab a picture from anywhere.... you can always go through autoloc they have a kit that is expensive but they are a great company when i was in mini trucking i bought alot of products from them and they have a plug and play kit for your car..... another thing you got to remember
    fast + cheap = not reliable
    cheap + reliable = not fast
    fast + reliable = not cheap
    that is the motto i live by

    Not sure why I'd want my door locks to be "fast"

    Thanks for the info though.. I'll ask around to see if I can get one of the Miata resellers to donate one.
