Is there a way to get a less expensive key fob other than through the dealer? Have a 96 XJ that has what I think is an IR sensor bulb on the ceiling near the overhead lights. Auto unlock is the only function it would be used for.

 

i just replaced the whole setup with a viper keyless entry system (both fobs were dead):

 

^This, the IR remotes are garbage, better to just replace it all with an RF system, there are many options out there for less than $50 (including module and 2 remotes), I used this one, seems to work fine ($15): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Car-Remote-Controller-Central-Door-Lock-Locked-Keyless-Entry-System-/251673692438?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a98ebc916

 

www.keylessride.com will have the fob, but you would be happier with a new RF system. The IR system sucks at best, no range and you have to aim at the black dome.

 

This thread came along at just the right time ! I was looking to get a key fob also, but just ordered the one demill89 posted ! Thanks for that link !

I kinda wonder if one of these would also work on the wife's Buick Park Avenue (??)
