I got a 98 XJ sport with power windows/locks. I know this means I should have the keyless entry so I wanted to buy the remotes on eBay but I dont know which one to buy. Can you guys show me the pics of ur remotes lol? And if you know how to program it, instructions would be nice also. thanks!
 
you better have somebody like a dealer run your vin # first i dont think keyless entry is a givin just because you have power locks but if you do have it you want the square remote not the skinny one thats rounded on one end thats what i have on my 98
 
There is a number engraved on the back that goes with certain years. The dealer will charge close to a $100 to reprogram the fob. I've found a few locksmiths that have the ability to reprogram for around $40 so search around
 
Here is what it looks like.

Watch for dead remotes on ebay. Also, I called my local dealer and they want $20 apiece for the Fobs and another $30 to program them total. Since there is no way to program them without a DRB scan tool, this isn't too bad.

That's really good. My local stealership tried to charge me 180. Key word being tried.
 
The two button one shown in the pic above is what you want. It's the same one I have for my '98. Panic button ones came out for '99 models. Just make sure it has the following part number stamped on the back and you'll be fine:

56008968

Cost to have the dealer program it should run you about $30 - $40, depending upon the dealer.
 
My 99 has shows Chrysler part# 56036859

It has to be programmed with a DRB Scan tool, that only the dealer has and can afford. The only thing the manual tells you how to do is how to shut off the "horn chrip" when you lock your doors..... Call your dealership and ask to speak to the Service Manager, and he'll confirm (if he's really smart enough) it's a dealer only fuction to program your remote....
