Keyless Entry Questions
hello everyone
sadly, during the harsh winter months, i dropped my key in a parking lot and lost it for a few days. the janitor eventually found the key, but of course the lock, unlock doesnt work, its scratched badly, and the gold emblems on each side are gone i know that finding a replacement key is very expensive so i was thinking about putting in just an aftermarket keyless unlock/lock. i dont know whether one can be configured to my existing one. would it be hard to have one done? how much do you think this would cost?
thanks again for all the help.

should i take out all the oem keyless entry parts first? would it be expensive to get an aftermarket one? and would it be hard to install? thanks a lot for the help

You could check EBay for a replacement transmitter, however, youd need to replace the ROM as well, good luck on finding one of those to go with the transmitter. If you could find someone parting one out, you could get the keys and the ROM. Or maybe check some salvage yards? A new alarm will be expensive, however now you can get remote start or other options. Go with DEI products(clifford, viper, sidewinder, hornet) and a good quality installation.

Nope, leave it in! Depends on what you want, you have an alarm as well as keyless entry. Probably get some thing basic but good for around $300 with install.

What model do you have? Can you still read the FCC # on the back of the key?
