Hello,
I have been reading this forum for sometime now to get some background info for the purchase of a new F
Frontier. I recently traded in my 2003 Accord 6-Speed for a 2005 Nismo CC and I absolutely love it so far. Like many, I do like to mod but I like to keep the factory look as much as possible.
I added factory XM the day after I took delivery (longer to unbox components than it did to install) and soon will change the mirrors and door handles to chrome. But, there was one feature missing that I wish the truck had. The first vehicle I owned was a new 1990 Nissan 4x4. After leaving it parked in my drive way over night, I came out the next morning and saw the tailgate and bed liner were missing.
Since the the tailgate of the 2005 Frontier has a key lock I decided to add a door lock actuator and below are the results. I works with the keyless entry as well as the door lock switch in the door. I have not seen or read of anyone doing this yet and I thought I would pass this on as a good practical cheap mod.
