Default Installing Keyless Entry 06 Caravan

Has anyone here installed Keyless entry on a Dodge Caravan? If so any tips for doing this? I assume the thing is supposed to be installed under the dash someplace but not sure if it makes a difference where. Any help would be appreciated. Im not really sure where all the wires run that I need to connect to.
Thanks
Charles

I bought a keyless entry system from 12v parts.com, it says it has internal relays for the door locks, not sure if it will work with this van but was hoping it would. I dont even see a brand name on this thing, says model# is KE5520
Thanks

sorry not gonna work the door lock signles are from the BCM and has internal high side drivers. Your aftermarket system will not work unless u do some massive custom install with relays,wires,controlers and such.

I found a wiring diagram for the 06 Caravan, it looks to me like the Sentry Keyless Entry system would plug right into the BCM according to this diagram I have.

I figured out how to hook up the keyless entry, was actually easy once I found the right wires. Now I gotta buy a better quality keyless system. The one I bought was cheap and the relays are not energizing every time. Anyone know what systems are good? preferrably one with relays built in.
Thanks
