Default Keyless Entry Question

Is it possible (and if so is it feasible) to change a 99 keyless receiver with a 01 up style? The question is due to the fact the 01 and up key fobs are so much cheaper and also they do not have the passive switch which I do not care for.

Thanks!

Awesome, I dont care for the passive, it stays turned off anyway.

Happen to have the receiver number so I can start the search for that?

Thanks!

I'm not so sure about this. If so everyone would use the cheaper ones. I'd get a second opinion before you go out and but one.

I agree with 5 Liter Eater.
The frequencies for the Receivers/Transmitters are different from 99 to 01.
Also the Tire Pressure Sensors may not work properly since they operate on the same frequency.
