Very important to make sure you get an actual C4 PKE FOB.
None of the newer or "universal" FOB's will work with this system.
Also, there are two kinds (coupe and convertible). Get the one for your car.

You will probably be surprised when you see the prices most want for these.

And finally, be sure and read everything you can on how this system works.
You may find you don't like it. It is unlike most current day systems (meaning, you don't use the buttons to lock/unlock the doors).

As Rolla said, make sure you read about how they are intended to work.

Before you buy (they are expensive, around $130 last time I looked), I also suggest you go through the programming steps (in your owners manuals) as far as you can without the fob and make sure everything seems to be working OK.
