I was just given a 93 xj. There is this mysterious black round button thing between the sunvisors on the headliner . WHAT THE HECK is it???

 

That is the sensor for the remote keyless entry.

 

It is the spy camera... Big Brother is watching..









Ok.. so Winston it right. It is for the remote locks.

 

how do i get the fobs for the keyless entry?

 

You can order them from the stealership or locate some online. The access code for programming the key fob is located inside the housing.

 

my '96 has this feature as well and i basically have to be a foot away from my jeep before it will operate the door locks.

 

it seems th question in this thread is answered, so imma highjack it rather than start my own. whats the thing in my 89 xj between the two sunvisors, its no a big black button and kinda looks like it could have been a clock? at any rate the face is missing. what is it?

 

i hate those things..... every jeep i've owned that had that R2-D2 bulp (3 of them) i never had a keyfab and the person that i bought it from never had them, just another jeep convenience to get ahold of keyless entry i guess

 

I had never seen anything on the roof except the remote sensor or a full overhead console. So I started browsing through my pics to find one of the sensor in my 91. No luck, but I actually have a pic of the digital clock in my 89. Never knew it was there because I bought it, towed it to a friends house, and that is where it has sat for the last 4 months.

 

so what ur saying is my jeep came stock with two clocks? one in the dash one on the roof?

 

If it's even a clock. When I get back home this weekend I will go check it to see what exactly it is. Like I said the 89 has sat over at a friends since I bought it. The only time it has been started was to make sure it would run before I paid for it, to drive it up on the trailer and back off. Whatever it is will be ripped out anyway because that pile off dung it getting gutted to be a trail only rig.

 

it just stumps me as to what that thing could possibly be, compass>? somebodys gotta know

 

Ya I was stumped on what the dark orb sitting between my visors was until I asked a couple friends + my dad what they thought it was... assumed it was a keyless entry device so I removed it and mounted my cb there. The cb mounting bracket screws perfectly into the leftover holes =)

 

My 1990 Laredo has a compass and an outside ambient temp gauge in that position on the roof right up front. Directly behind it is a container for a garage door opener, and a sunglasses holder is behind that. Makes a big console looking thing.

The clock is on the dash.

I can post pics if you really wanted to see it... it's far from overwhelming though

 

kidkodiak, you have pics?
