Default What's This Thing?

this module or sensor fits in a spot in between the left and right sun visors just over the rear view mirror. don't have a clue what it is, it never comes "on" on the back end where the contacts are on the circuit board are the KF9 it is about the size of a old fashion butane square lighter. it just slide in and plugs in there, but for what? I cannot find any info on it. see pics, in my Pioneer 1990 cherokee

I thought the keyless entry began in 1993. For 93-96 models, the dome is the receiver for the infra-red remote entry. The remote only works close to vehicle and pointed at receiver. Not like today's radio frequency remotes.
Key Fob part #56009031
Sold all 5 of the ones I had.

I have a Haynes maual for the Jeep but there is no mention of it.
