The plastic bag with the Honda sticker on it costs $310. That's why.

Probably labour.

FYI the actuators retail for $194.65

What they cost to manufacture and what they sell for are two totally different things! You dont buy a new clothes dryer for $100, or a can of Coke for 20c do you?

Dont hate the player........

If you leave the car for some time it unlocks when u reach the car...
but if you try to lock it back immediately, all doors lock up except the driver's door.
tried the internal switch to lock and unlock the door. all doors work except again the driver door...

anyone know why?

is it the battery dying? or the thing that controls the central locking dying?

SAME. My drivers side door auto lock died last week. Getting it fixed under dealer extended warranty.

I think mine wore out from 3 years of me clicky click!

I had my passenger door actuator replaced last week (sadly, I was 2 months out of warranty... sigh). Part was $200, labour $65.

Hmm true. Lucky my actuator is still good.

Yes they should, you dont touch the actuator when installing dynamat. Unless the dynamat is physically touching the actuator or something. They would need to prove the dynamat damaged the actuator.
