itd be really hard to get them to work. you would prolly have to have the pcm programmed with the panel firmware. doubt they would do that. on top of that i am also highly doubting the wiring for them is there. if you wanted to do this i would say that you would need to use an aftermarket popper.

While trying to do a full factory style install would be costly at best. It should be faily easy to install the factory door poppers and then wire them to aftermaket controls. Of course if you have to have aftermarket contols you might as well just buy a full aftermarket kit. That would most likely be the cheapest way to go.

I agree with this!

And also you can't reprogram the BCM to think it is a panel.

Door Popers

At the risk of sounding stupid, what are door popers

Sorry Mr. Moderator, I noticed you've removed my post and someone elses here. No room for horribly bad humour?I guess that was bound to get out of hand.

An aftermarket kit would be best. The stock door poppers aren't the best.

I was informed by the dealer that the 08 panel rear doors have there own module that controls the rear remote doors only. when I had work dune to my panel they had to reprogram the key fobs. when I got the car back the rear doors would not work with the key fob but the front doors worked fine. was told then that they had to reprogram a rear door module. so if this is true my be fairly easy to add on.
