So I finally got a xj.. and was wondering what this is? Ive had a few other xj owners look at it and they dont know either. Maybe a compass? i dunno. Any ideas?



heres some of the xj too



(3rd day i owned it lol)

 

that went with the stock alarm on the jeep. you would point the alarm key towards this unit.

 

nah, that's 'The Man' keeping an eye on you. Haha

 

My buddy has that same thing he seems to think it's a compass... it's O.K. that I don't know b/c mine doesn't have one....

 

My friend said it was a webcam.. But thanks for the correct info

 

Crappy infrared keyless entry receiver. Mine's got one too. You can buy an IR transmitter for it, but according to the PO you had to actually be standingat the door with the transmitter pointed directly at it and it might work.

On the upside, all the wiring for the keyless entry is up there. So you can buy a cheap RF one and wire it in easily enough.

 

www.keylessride.com will have a remote for your XJ. It is a crappy system, but it works better than using a key when your hands are full.

 

what the hell are you driving through on that last pic?

 

i thought it was just dried up mud. turns out it was nasty clay. Took 2full size Chevys to pull me out

 

That blows, looks like a real pain to clean up and your breaks hate you.

 

Uggghhh, what a mess. Good luck with that and the keyless remote.
