Electric door lock upgrade

Can I EASILY modify my 92 SVX to have the door lock/unlock button in the shifter console like the following models? I really like this feature in my GF's 94.

Is the wiring already in place if I get a later console and plug it in?

thanks

I don't think the wiring for the console switch would be there on the earlier ones, but it shouldn't be too hard to install a switch in your existing console and run 2 wires from it over to your present switch and tap into them.

You do realize all you need to do is push down the driver's side lock and the passenger side automatically locks, right?

Yes, I realize that. I like the convenience of the switch at my fingertips rather than the reach around the opposite shoulder routine. I am ummm, large, what can I say?

Ok, no problem. I just know some people don't realize how the locks work in the 92's

I am thinking about an actual button myself, reaching for the door lock which is slightly behind my shoulder is more inconvenient. When I had my security module out I was testing things and just grounding each wire locks or unlocks so a simple spring loaded rocker would momentary ground one side or the other.
