I have a 99 Eclipse RS and I was curious about keyless entry on whether or not it came stock on them. I bought it used so I did not get the keyless entry remote. I was hoping to get some help from some one on whether or not it was even possible for it to have keyless entry. If possible how do I program. I am new to the foreign cars so don't know as much about them. I would appreciate any and all help you guys can give me.

Unless someone tells you how to look for one installed, you can have the dealership look at it (don't let them charge you, i doubt they will try) since you have to get a new remote anyway (100-150 dollars new) or I think you can get a used one and program it. Again the dealership knows how. Someone here MIGHT know, but i'm not certain.

To reprogram your keyless entry system for a new key fob:
1) Turn ignition to OFF.
2) Ground pin 1 of the Data Link Connector (black 16-pin connector under dash driver's side). Pin 4 of this connector is a ground, so placing a jumper wire between pins 1 & 4 will accomplish this. Grounding pin 1 tells the system you are getting ready to reprogram it.
3) Close all the doors.
4) Turn the key to ACC, then back to OFF. The power locks will lock/unlock. The system is now ready to be programmed.
5) Press a button on your key fob.
6) If you have two key fobs, press a button on the second fob within 1 minute of pressing a button on the first one. Both must be programmed at the same time. If you only have one remote, press a button on it 2 more times to signal that you only have one.
7) The doors will lock/unlock to signal that the codes were received.
8) Remove the connection between pins 1 & 4.
1) Turn ignition to OFF.

Hi,
This might be a stupid question but I am going to ask it anyway because I am not sure:
1. Where could I find a jumper wire - is a regular one or a special one that I need to get?
2. If for some reason the jumper wire does not ground the pins right could this mess up my electrical system and damage the power options? I see all the other steps are off that system - the doors, the remote etc. - or not grounding it right will just not allow the system to run in program mode for me to install the remote?
Thank you in advance and I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
