keyless entry and alarm for '88 760

    Greetings!

    I recently installed a fairly inexpensive keyless entry / alarm system on my
    '88 760 wagon. I've been less than impressed with it. The range on the
    remote key fobs is very inconsistent, as is the operation of the alarm.
    Mainly purchased the kit for remote door unlock features. Have tried
    extending the antenna, relocating the box, etc. with no real improvement.
    Even got the schematic for the keyfob and extended the antenna on that with
    no improvement.

    Question:

    Has anyone installed a system they've been happy with? What brand/model was
    it? Other info?

    I'm considering getting the parts from a Ford minivan to rig up for this...
    rented one recently, and the keyless worked great!

    TIA,
    Tony

    I installed 2 on my 240s about 10 and 9 years ago. While I now own
    neither car, I know where both are, and there's never been a problem
    with either. Both even have never needed a battery replacement in the
    remotes! They were sold under the name Excaliber.
