Keyless entry 560SL

I just saw advertised on E-Bay a keyless entry for all 560SLs, not very expensive at $129. Comes with instructions, blank keys etc. Has anybody installed one of those? Do they work? I'd like to get one of them, but it sounds to good to be true ...

I bought one of the cheap $50 ones with 2 remotes, lights flash etc to replace (sorry, assist!) the vacuum system on my 74 450sl and it took me an hour to wire it all in and place the actuators and it works just great
cheers

Does it require a lot of modifications (drilling, cutting etc.)?

sorry been offline for a few days. I did both sides in a few hours, the worst bit was actually taking off the door panels and bypassing the vacuum system and plugging the pipes that has to be plugged. Mounting was easy with self drilling screws. It was a little difficult to pull wires through the door to body connector but not impossible. Really quite a simple set up
good luck
Barri
