so.

I have a '97 cherokee.

that's running all '98 wiring, which was necessary because the '98 was a 5 speed, the '97 was not, and I wanted a 5 speed.


Anyways.

the '98 had power windows and locks. it also had keyless entry, but no FOB's.


So, I bought a '97-98 fob, and a 99+ fob.

well, then I just HAD to add an overhead console. added one from a '00, complete with the wiring for it from the fuse panel to the OHC, as well as with lighted mirrors.


so, I now have a '97 xj with '98 wiring and power windows/locks, with '00 cruise control, and '98 cruise switches, with an '00 overhead console.


that in mind, I didn't swap the keyless command module out with the '98's.

Here's the question;

since I'm using a 2000 keyless reciever/controller, can I use the 2000 style key fob, or is that determined by the year of ECU? I WANT the new style FOB...I hate the old style FOB.


anyone have experience with this?

Thanks,
Pat
