Did you ever install the keyless entry? I'm trying to do the same. But once I got the door panel off, I noticed it's a cable lock system. I don't know where to attach the actuator.

I used a heavyduty paper clip. I used a pair of needle nose pliers and made a small eye ring on the end so it hooked around the cable as it goes into the locking mech.. There is just enough room behind the lock to attach the actuator. Watch out for the ribs on the inside of the panel. you have to clear them. The hook (eye ring) of the paper clip should be strong enough the work the lock without bending. The paper clip should be bent till it is parallel with the actuator rod.I did the four doors and the rear door. everything is connected to a viper alarm.
