Usually everything is possible . It's only a problem of how much money they need to retrofit the extra you want

well...money comes later...first i just need to figure out if its technically possible...like what exactly is going on with the comfort access?? if someone has sound knowledge about that or if he has contacted the dealer regarding this, he'll be able to say if its possible to do it....obviously if the mechanism is complicated then it'll cost an arm n leg...if not, then good for me...

For starters, there are antennae located in various areas of the car. Look here.
Next, you'll need four new door handles, and two new key fobs.
I can't speak for the brains of the unit, but I'm guessing you'll need a new control module, with much reprogramming.
After that, all of these devices will need to be wired together. I'm guessing you'll need an entirely new wiring harness, and will have to disassemble the car's interior and exterior to retrofit it.
I'd guess you're looking at $2500 in parts and 2 to 3 times that in labor.
