Remote controlled

I had a few hours today and I finished hooking up the Commando keyless entry system. There's actually not too much "under dash" space in the 308 so it was challenging to find places for the central lock and keyless entry modules. I ended up stashing them in the passenger footwell behind the ECU panel. I cleaned up all the wiring and bundled it up neatly under the fuse panel. It's pretty cool to be able to lock and unlock the doors via a remote. Almost like having a modern car!

Tomorrow I'm finally going to tackle the engine cover. I've heard putting the louvers back on is a PITA. The louvers go on top and there is a mesh grill and other pieces on the bottom. You need four hands to do the job. We'll see what happens.
