So i bought a used 2000 jeep cherokee sport. No keyless entry FOB came with it. (friend of mine has a 99 sport and his has this)

1. Do all of them normally have this keyless entry?
2. How can I tell if my jeep would work with one?
3. Besides the dealer where might I get one?
4. If my jeep does work with one and I get a keyless entry fob how would I program it to my jeep?


Any comments and suggestions would be great.

You can e-mail Chrysler with the VIN number (go to "Contact Us" on the Jeep website) and ask for the original buildsheet. This would tell you whether it had keyless entry. I did this for mine and got it no problem.

I will do this but what about buying the fob itself and programming?

I don't know, mine came with the original FOB. I imagine you might have to go to the dealer.

I just dug up this link, you'll want to request the buildsheet here:

Awesome. Thanks for the link.

If anyone else has a good site to get the FOB's from please let me know!!!!

Ok so I got the spec sheet from Jeep. It does have keyless entry. Dealer is asking $93.00 for the fob and another $45.00 to program it. Im finding new to used ones on ebay in the $15 to $35 range. Spoke with a locksmith friend of mine and hes saying the dealer HAS to do it. But yet I found this info on programming it? Can any of you confirm if this info is correct and if not do you have a link to the correct programming?

Thanks for the link again on getting the data build sheet.

I got mine off ebay, 18 dollars shipped, just ask the dealers for the part number so you make sure you get the right one. I called around to a couple local locksmiths, they all said it had to be programmed at the dealer. The local jeep dealer here did it for free so you may get lucky like i did.

hmm do you how they did it? did they have to connect anything to the jeep? because that's what my friend said. Thats why he couldnt do it. ....

Yeah,it plugged into the diagnostics port, and he had to run something on the handheld device.
