ANOTHER keyless entry question.

[lucky7]

i have a 97 Se. leather, 5lug, vlsd, moonroof, etc. all the standard stuff. i purchased the car a little over a year ago as a rolling chassis. its STILL a rolling chassis. :keke: i never physically met the guy i purchased the car from. so i never got to ask about the alarm/keyless option. is there a page that breaks down the vin to tell me whether or not i have this option? the car is at the shop over an hour away from me, so i dont have real close acess to it to check little things out. not to mention its never run since ive owned it, so ive never had power to any of the electronics. any tips or things to look for? im really curious about this, ive never had a car with keyless, but always wanted it.

2nd part of the question. if it turns out i dont have it, is it relatively easy to obtain it? or fuck it, im wasting my time?

ive done a few searches and havent come up with any definate answers. i know that it was an option for the 97-98 Se's. i guess it was standard on 95 se's and an option on 96's.

i would appreciate any input you could give me. thanks.

Dane.

Leather wasn't offered OE on the 97-98 SEs that I recall, so it probably doesn't have security. Best way to tell though is look right above the hood release, the box above should be silver metal if it has security. If it's black plastic, nope. Other way id to look at the rear glass, driver's side, at the bottom. If there's a spade connector near the rear deck, it's the antenna. If there's only two higher up (defog and FM antenna) then no again.

If you do have it, buy a remote and program it. Ebay, $10, 12 seconds.

Dude... I can tell you definitely... I've had the run around on this for a long time, but I finaly got it figured out. Mine is a 95' but that shouldn't matter. Look under the front dash where the pedals are. There should be a medal casing that give some numbers... like an fcc id and another serial number, that is the security system... the Fcc id is what you are looking for... for mine it is KBRASZU02... but it may be different on the 97 to 98 model... check and post back if you find anything.... the web site you need is http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?siteid=214041&referrerid=1500292 they should have it for $40 or so...
