Title: remote locking/alarm
Post by: joelypops on January 23, 2009, 10:09:13 AM
I have just bought a 1996 2.5td xj, and it didn't come with any key fobs, just a key for the doors and one for the fuel cap (i think)  but above the rear view mirror is a little black dome that looks like it is to do with the remote locking gizmos..   I had a quick look through the owners manual and it mentions the remote but not in any great detail.  Did this model come with them as standard or was it an optional extra etc...

Cheers,
Joel.

It will have come with one infra red remote. If you can get hold of one, they are user programmable.

You can buy after market alarm with centrall locking out put i bought mine from maplins, it was a portman about 40 quid and took about an hour to wire in, and could offer some assistance if required

I brought one of these

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-Jeep ... 0026615452 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-Jeep-CHEROKEE-93-94-95-96-Keyless-Entry-Remote-FOB_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742Q2em153Q2el1262QQcategoryZ33723QQihZ026QQitemZ390026615452)

It's an IR remote which you aim at the black dome.
It doesn't work the immobiliser  fitted to my xj but does work the locks.

Price has gone up though only cost me £20 delivered.
