Is the driver door card where the receiver for the OE CDL located????
Yes as someone else posted above, when you remove the door card you will see it attached to the back. I couldn't do anything with it though and it was easier to just buy a new unit.

I purchased an alarm to give me a little extra for security for not much more money. However if you just want RCL you can get an aftermarket unit for about a tenner.

Thanks - I have a complete alarm/CDL kit - share your concern on security theft being done probably because of the significant costs of used spares.

Mainly due to the lack of stock security I would say.
