Ok, I picked up a 97+ headliner this weekend to replace the totally separated one in my '92. Got the front dome light and bracket too so I don't have to figure out how to make the smaller '92 front dome work on the much larger hole.
I was going to cut a hole in the headliner so I could remount my truck's IR keyless entry dome, but then got to thinking I should just use the one in the "new" dome, save myself some cutting, and get a nice upgrade in the process. However, some searching earlier this evening turned out to be discouraging - it suggested that without the "central convenience computer" from the kick panel and a scan tool, I can't use this newer receiver board.
I thought I remembered something about being able to use the keyless system out of the Dodge Intrepid, but couldn't turn anything up on it.
Has any new information surfaced on the feasibility of connecting a 97+ keyless entry board into a '92 or similar vehicle? Be advised, I didn't note the year of the truck I pulled this thing from, and there weren't any keyless remotes hanging off the ignition key, so any information on how to ID the particular year from the board itself would also be useful.
I can fall back to cutting a hole for my board and housing, but would have liked to use the newer system if possible.
Thoughts?
