Sounds like a regular power lcoks conversion. Nothing really special and you could do that to your car with parts off an junk car.

no its just unlocks it with a button...u no walking to car push button locks unlock even though u dont have power locks.
plus very cheap..also i think to convert to power locks would be alot harder and add alot more weight, then u would have to go out and get that press button lock open thing and install it(dont no name sry lol)

Yea I am pretty sure it is a key-less entry. No fear because they weigh next to nothing. I am pretty sure it is some sort of power locks or a silenoid to open them. Cool either way you look at it.
