Car Door Help?

Okay so I got all the components and everything ready to go to do the door unlock project that is in the book. Extra FOB, was going to do two readers and an arduino to drive some lock/unlock logic.

Problem I ran into is my car (06 H3) can only have two keyfobs at once, and the extra would be number three. Because of logistics and other stuff I can't give up the two fobs, so my project just got stuck...

Does anybody know if there is a piece of equipment like an alarm bypass module that I can interface with that would unlock and disarm the alarm from inside the car? I know I could buy a new alarm system that would take multiple fobs but I'm on a budget, and its a higher mileage car.

I tried it on an 08 H3 and it wouldn't go into programming mode how the instructions said it should. The target vehicle is a 06 H3 (our company vehicles are H3's each one is a different year oddly enough), I'll have to give the 06 a try tonight. As for only having two FOBs that is what the dealership told me when I priced out what it would be for them to program the remote (fyi they said they would do the programming for $30 bucks).

I talked to Valiant's customer service people as they make an alarm bypass module for the vehicle and I think I confused the hell out of the sales woman on the phone. I Might have to give a call to a custom car audio shop just don't have much more budget for this project, and a new alarm system isn't doable right now.

I got my powerbolt  for$50 shipped brand new on ebay, so I am not too worried about damaging it. Will the Redbee reader be part of the kit or will the kit just be add on stuff for the RedBee?
