Our take on the Code Alarm DA1

by Ken Nail

Got manual locks in your vehicle? Use Code Alarm's DA1 door lock actuator to add power door locks when you've installed a Code Alarm system with a remote door lock/unlock feature. Once you wire the DA1 door lock actuator to your manual door locks, you'll be able to lock and unlock your car doors automatically with your remote.

Each actuator comes with a backstrap, push arm, screws, speed clips, mounting block, and wire guard. You'll need one actuator for each door you'd like to control. Warranty: 30 days.

Important: If you know how to use a multimeter and have experience working with your vehicle's electrical system, you should be able to install this car security equipment. If you're unfamiliar with installing car security equipment, please speak to one of our Advisors before attempting this installation. Note: Before purchasing, please call us at 1-888-955-6000 to confirm that this product works with your vehicle.

Features

Overview: The Code-Alarm DA-1 power door lock actuator can provide a power door lock to a door that has manual door locks. The actuator responds to electrical signals from the alarm or keyless entry system and physically moves the vehicle's door locking rod to a locked or unlocked position. One DA-1 actuator will be needed for each door you want to control.

Installation: The DA-1 should be installed behind the door panel in a location that won't inhibit window movement or door panel replacement.

So far So good

Written By Virg, Rio Rancho, NM on Monday, May 21, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
So far these are good and do the job. Installed in an early Tacoma with no power locks. Both my boxes came with no instructions. Got them in PDF from Crutchfield. Instructions still somewhat vague. There is a small block that set screws to the slip in actuating rod on the motor. You then slip this block over the lock rod inside the door and tighten down. Very limited room in my install to get the screws tight. Ended up having to use a phillips bit and a 1/4 wrench to tighten them down. Then drilled two holes in the door inner skin and screwed the motor through the skin into the two tube looking pieces made onto the motor. Seems to hold tight, but as I said, instructions could be MUCH better. Biggest issue I had with them is that I did not know that I'd need to buy 4 relays as well to get them to operate with the CA1151 alarm I bought. You need two each side (lock, unlock). This can run your cost to do the job up quite a bit as it pays to get good quality relays. Don't buy cheap ones, get good ones. Then also the issue of finding room for two relays per side. Download instruction sheet has an easy diagram to follow on wiring them. The actuators are inexpensive (actually got free with a package deal Code alarm was putting on through this site) and only have a 30 day guarantee so I hope they hold up. I can say it is REALLY NICE to be able to hit the lock and unlock button on the alarm to open the doors.
Pros:
Nice to have power locks. Inexpensive Working good so far
Cons:
POOR and in my instance missing instructions (download them this site to get them) No indication that you needed to order 4 relays to install
