Default Can you install the Keyfob receiver and...

buy the Keyfob to get remote locks if you already have electric locks? I was browsing the Partnumbers thread and saw it for my 93. OR How can I check if my car already has it and someone lost the Fob? Because I just got this car and would like to have factory remote locks. Car is in sig

Thanks!

call the dealer and ask them to run your options,
if it says keylessentry or something along those lines, you should be ok.

and you can program them yourself, no dealer programming needed.

or at least that is the way it is fo 98 and up.

I had the dealer check my VIN on my 95 Formula. Even though my car did not come with keyless entry, they determined that the car did have the receiver installed. So I picked up a couple fobs from ebay, programmed them, and was all set. One of the ebay sellers had the programming instructions, or you should be able to find them online easily.

The '93 I think will be different from '94-up, but on my '94 you can ground the ALDL and get the locks to "cycle" if it has remote locks. Also, if you can find your "options" list (mine was in the glovebox) it will be listed there if fitted.

What if I have ordered the Keybobs, tried to program them, but was unable to do so. I also got my son, who is extremely technical and knows a lot about cars, etc., to try and couldn't program them.
What is the possiblilty that the receiver needs to be replaced?
