So when I bought my car it did not come with the key to lock/unlock my doors so I installed a keyless entry system so I ccould lock my doors, well the battery is fully charged and the remote start works but the doors will not unlock does anyone have any ideas on how I can get in?

Ive locked my keys in before. The only way Ive ever gotten in is by using a piece of rigid wire, like a coathanger, but smaller gauge cause it fits better and you have less chance of wrecking the paint and or seals. Put a loop on the end of the wire you intend to insert through the top of the driver window, and tie a loop of fishing line to this because youre going to have to get all the way down and hook the hatch lever. Ive come up with a better solution since. Just go buy an inner tube to a kids bike tire, wedge it between the top corner of the driver door, and use a bike pump to inflate the tube a bit, which will push the door away from the body, thereby allowing the easy insertion of the above mentioned wire :sneaky:
 
or just have a locksmith cut you a key to match the lock

x2. Had to have a lock shop come out when I lost the key to my first eclipse and someone was coming to buy it. Sounds like you could use a key for the locks anyways, always a good thing to have.
