That way I think I would have actually 3 keys for this car. 2 new keys without the original remotes but I will attach these new keys to the new electric door lock/unlock remotes. I figure with a little work, which I can do, and less then $175 I will have basically 2 new remotes with keys for this car plus the original remote that will start the car but will no longer lock/unlock the doors. NOW DOES THIS SOUND LIKE IT WOULD WORK? I think you or someone stated that they are not sure anyone has converted to electric door locks. I just don't know why when it is IMPOSSIBLE to get a replacement remote for this car. I have been told they will be available in a few months and then when I call back then they tell me it will be many more months or it will not be available. I just do not like having only ONE KEY / REMOTE for ANY car. I don't like doing what I think I am going to have do but when no working remote is available at ANY COST I do not want to wait until I have NO WORKING REMOTE and NO WAY to start this car.....
It's doable. There are probably several ways to do it. When I bought my '05 Roadster two years ago, it had an aftermarket Clifford/Viper remote start and alarm system installed. I did not receive ANY documentation with the car on how to get the remote start to work. I've never gotten the remote start feature to work...it's a complicated system with the manual transmission...but I wanted to tell you that the Viper key fob that runs the system DOES work to unlock and lock the doors on my Crossfire. I just now tried it again. I also have two other original keys for my Crossfire so I never use the Viper key fob.
I'll attach some photos of the key fob that I have that works to unlock/lock the doors/trunk. That tells me that folks have the circuitry to unlock and lock the Crossfire doors/trunk even if they don't have the circuitry to work with the SKREEM to start the car. I suggest that you contact Viper/Clifford and just start asking what they have. It might not be cheap, though.
Also, check on eBay. There are people selling replacement door lock systems that supposedly work with Crossfires.
As I said, I just tried this Viper remote and it worked to unlock and lock the doors. I just wish I could figure out what all they changed to my car's alarm system.....but that's another day.....
