You're probably right about that, but I've never tried it that way (yet).
Those actuators are very inexpensive and you only need one, but I think they
only sell them in pairs. It may be worth digging into, but you'd still have
to determine how to interface the remote controllers lock/ unlock outputs to
the driver's door lock actuator wiring.  It may have to be relayed due to
current draw limitations.
