Default Yes!!

I've had a 97, 99, 01 and currently own an 04. They all had keyless entry. Check with the seller - maybe they just forgot to give you the Fobs (2 come with the car!)

All had keyless entry. You can buy a key fob from a stealership or on ebay. I got an OEM key fob on ebay for $10 shipped.

Yes all came with keyless entry "fobs". There should have been two. There were three versions of these. 1 for '97-'99's with a passive lock/unlock feature. A second for '00 model year cars which used the same receiver as the previous but removed the passive switch and a third for '01-'04. The first and second type may be used on older cars, the third series only works on '01-'04 model year cars and can not be interchanged with the others. The earlier model is the most expensive of the three. Beware of parts like this purchased on Ebay. While some have had good luck, many more have not. Clearly buyer beware.

I think the 2000 model had one that was unique to that year only. It carries a different part number and a gander at Ebay will show the 2000 model going for more bucks that those years greater or lesser than the 2k model.

Default Fob

Bought mine off ebay from a seller with a 100% rating for $40 shipped.
Works perfect, unlike the purchase I made from a CF member who unloaded crap on me.
