Default Another FOB Question

Will a later model FOB, post 2001 work on my '99? I realize the passive function will not work, which I don't like anyway, but will the 4 buttons work?

I hope this is not a dupe, I searched and could not find anything.

TIA

It will not. The 1997-2000 were one generation of entry system and the 2001-2004 weree another. Unfortunately, the 1997-2000 fobs are quite a bit more expensive. I'm not sure why.

From what I've read, like with the tire pressure sensors, the fob transmitter frequency is also different.
