Do all 98+ Camaros come with keyless entry? If so is it as easy as buying a FOB and programing it to your car?

Your car had to have the option from the factory. Look at your service parts identification label and decode it. If it has the option, you can. If not, you can't.

Look for RPO code AU0 on the driver's side door.

You can add keyless entry by changing the BCM from a car that has keyless entry with your BCM. Get one from a breakers yard.

You then take the new BCM to the GM dealer and get it reprogrammed to match your key chip.

I added keyless to my car by fitting a BCM I got on ebay.

Intresting. I familure with C4 Vette BCM's so how does the camaro bcm work and what all does it control? If you turn off vats would i still have to take it to gm to be reprogramed?

I am not sure what the BCM controls, but I know it does vats and keyless entry.

How this came about was I had a 95 Z28 before this car and that had keyless entry. So I was disappointed when this one didn't. The 95 Z28 has a seperate module in the pasenger kick panel to control keyless. The 96 and onwards it is controlled by the BCM.

I found all this out by searching this MB and CamaroZ28.com. So I see a BCM on Ebay and it says it came from a keyless entry car.

Now I am in the UK so I buy the 15 resistors to represent the 15 different key pellets our keys have. I fit the BCM and try each resistor in the Vats plug under the steering wheel until I find the right one, the I send off to the USA for 2 key blanks with the correct value pellet and get them cut to restore vats to my Z.

I think I paid about $60 for the BCM, but they are a lot more expensive from GM about $200!
