If I try to open my driver's door with the key, the door re locks. If I hold the key in the open position and pull the door open then the alarm sounds as it should. System works fine with the remote.

Just did the mounts on my dash - phew! And now the radio doesn't work. When I first installed the radio the LR speakers did not work and I just let it be. I just re-installed the radio and now ONLY the LR speakers work. The other problem is that the instrument dimming works in reverse in the radio. ...
