The make/model/options of the car play a large role in this, but FWIW, my responses follow your questions/comments:

"I'm thinking of buying a remote entry system off of Ebay."

They should be very cheap if it simply is remote entry (no more than $20-30).

"Has anyone installed one of these units and if so how difficult is it? Is there alot of wiring involved or does it just plug in somewhere somehow."

I have installed them. If it's just remote entry and nothing else, then it should be 4 wires, pulse lock, pulse unlock, power and ground. Finding the appropriate wires will be the biggest challenge. If you can get a wiring diagram for the car, it'll help (of course, the car has to have power locks...). Not at all difficult to do. It won't plug in.

"I'm not sure if I should go to the professionals and get the job done right."

Again, depends on what you're going for. BTW, for a Saab and certain other cars, it becomes much more complicated. Most classic Saabs don't have door lock actuators on the driver's door, so you'd have to add one.

It doesn't cost too much to have a shop install an alarm to a car, so I'd consider doing that instead. I would not have a shop just do keyless entry and not the alarm.



Thanks.
