well supposedly it came with the keyless alarm system. i assume it did because she says she had always used the clicker..untill it got stolen. but when i pulled the head unit out to replace it with the 97 one i had laying around, there was no control module!! so maybe someone got in and stole it?? i dunno......the head unit has the password right? so that means that her head unit (the one that came in her 96 is programmed to a different frequency or whatever it is. and that would explain why it only works with the 97 head unit (because thats where the clicker came from, and that is the unit it is programmed to) i think, right?? thank you so much for the reply dude...a ton of ppl have looked but no one offered any info...i know i didnt make it easy to understand, and i was confused and i think i confused the shit out of everyone else. but ya....thank you infinity plus one.

i just need to reprogram then right? i think that was my problem the whole time
