I've been around jeeps for quite a few years now and I had a friend send me a photo that stumped me. What is this on the headliner? Looks like some kind of sensor.

 

It's a factory keyless entry system receiver.

 

It looks like something big brother put in your car to watch you.
Creeepppyyy.

 

my 95 xj has one of these but it didn't come with a remote. i bought it used. it has power door locks. can it be converted to keyless easily? what is the possibility that has keyless entry already, just no remote?

 

Cloaking device.

You could just go to a dealer and pay a crap ton for them to program a new remote or two. Some locksmiths can do it too. But it wouldn't take long.

 

I have keyless entry and not one of these (2001). Is this the "old school" version?

 

Yup it's the old school version.

 

Later models ('97 and later?) have them concealed in the dome light over the front seats. I know that's where mine is in my '99.

 

That's where mine is in my 90. Only I have the whole upper console.

 

www.keylessride.com will have a fob for all of you guys with the funky infrared remote system.

 

WTF???? LMAO no dude, that's at the alarm brain under the dash.

 

That sounds more like it, kinda like GM's "Onstar" oh wait...Jeep/GM hmm.

But that is not what it is though, its too old to have that tech, even though our government has had Iphone tech since the last 40's. I'm still not sure what it is either.

 

No, it isn't. It's the older-style (IR) sensor.
