The stuff made by Autoloc will get you going the right way. They have quality parts and all of the accessories. They have kits that can be configured any way you want.

I used to work there. The solenoids are great and I have had the same set for over 6 years. My keyless went bad after a few years but it was replaced free of charge.

I would suggest doing what I did.... mount your solenoids under your arm rest on the inside of the door. It will avoid any water damage. If there is any signs of water damage it will void the warranty. I used a tubing bender and made an "s" shaped path for the cable to pull the latch. You can also use bike cable housing for brakes and shifters. I dont have any pics... but consider keeping the solenoids out of moisture. My buddy mounted his under the dash on a Mazda. Worked well too.
