What actuators should I use?

I have a yaris liftback and currently have manual door locks. I'm new at car modding and would like to install power locks. There are so many actuators that are being sold I would like a suggestion for the best one for my yaris.

I'd say go for the 5 wire ones. You only have two doors and it'd just be easier to lock both doors by just locking one of them. I should have gotten the 5 wire but I didnt. =/ Now I'm looking for a lock switch to add to my current power locks..

A1Electric FTW. I have been running their power window kit for 2 years now without a hitch.

I think I'm gonna order my kit today or tomorrow. My question is, do you think there's that much of a difference other than the name between these two kits?

The only difference is the brand of the keyless entry system. I have both brands....the Valet 712T on my 08 and the RF104C on my wifes 07. They both work great. Its really up to you.

I'm gonna go with the valet712t. An extra 10 bucks isn't bad if it gives a little more piece of mind.
