Does anyone have experience installing an OEM RKES into a car that did not come with keyless entry? I was thinking of picking up a module at the wreckers but I don't know if I need the key FOB's to match it or can I just pick up some new FOB's and reprogram the RKES. Any help is appreciated.

The key fobs are easy to program, as I did 4 of them (2 were given to me) for my SVT (it was just for fun). I only have 2 in use now, the other two, I shipped off with my old SE when I sold it.

Thanks Chris. I know how to program the FOB's but can it be done without an original FOB? Would I just have to short the connector and program away?

I don't recall needing the original key fobs, because my SE did not have any of the original key fobs when I bought it.

Cool thanks.

OK for all the trouble involved and the well known lousy performance of the OEM systems I think I will go with an aftermarket system. Can anyone recommend a good system? I am only concerned with the keyless entry/trunk opening features, it does't have to have an alarm of anything else.

I'd be interested in what kind of issues were in the way of installing the factory unit?

If it's as simple as grabbin the module from the wreckers and picking up a fob.. that doesn't sound too bad.

Is this a plug n play mod??

Would also require some relays to convert negative output singals to positive.
