If you have power windows and locks as well as the overhead console, ALL 95
Cherokees have remote entry even if it was not purchased new. The down side
is that it is light controled like a TV remote which hits that dome thing in
the console. My Country with tinted windows is a pain, The remotes work poor
at best. They are very expensive when compared to the wireless ones. Ebay
will work but expect to pay $50 for a used one.
Cool to have but a pain to use....To program it you have to do some weird
things but can be done in 1 minute.
