Oh yeah.. almost forgot!
I picked this up at the junk yard for $1.50
Thought I might be able to get the stock keyless doors setup. One a very few options not on my XJ.
What else would I need to get this to work?
Key fob,
wiring, I hear it might already be wired just not plugged in?
Sensor to pick up the key fob's signal.

Shoot. I gave away a whole set of Eccos to the guy that bought my TJ.
I don't know if it matters to you, but it might be better to go aftermarket for your keless entry. For $74 on Amazon I got a nice alarm system with keyless entry and remote start. It works great, and being able to start it up and let the AC cool down the interior first is awesome. At work we have no shade, and car interior temps of 135-150 are common after its been sitting in the sun all day in our Texas heat. The alarm also has 3 or 4 auxiliary outputs to acti ate a rear hatch release or lights, or whatever you can hook up to a relay.

I'll have to check that out... thank God for a white XJ though... my wife's WJ is black and I wouldn't be surprised if it was over 200* in there when we open the doors... it literally takes your breath away. Charged the a/c in it to operating capacity and it still doesn't cool all that great with the sun beating down on it. I suggested taking the XJ next time we all go somewhere and my wife actually said yes.
