You need to put the brain for your old keyless entry in it.

well that sucks.

the answer is pretty much no, if the console is from a '97-'98. you have to get the earlier keyless remotes for it, as they are the only ones that work with it. they have far shorter of a range of operation, and are pretty ugly.

if it's from a '99-01, you probably can have it reprogrammed. but you have to take it to a dealer to do it, and it's $50 or more to do it.

I'd go to a junk yard, get the reciever from a '99-01, and install it, just to be perfectly sure.
