Remote Keyless Entry

I recently purchased a 1993 Crown Victoria that has a keyless entry pad on the door but didn't come with a remote entry fob. Is there any easy way to tell if the car has remote keyless entry? If not I can always purchase an aftermarket unit but if all I need is the remote transmitter I would hate to spend bucks on the whole works.

I would bet that it would have keyless entry, since it has the keypad.
The keypad works with the same module that the Keyless entry
transmitter does.

Good luck

You'd win the bet, it did have the receiver built in. My brother in law had a fob from his 1994 Towncar, which got T-boned by a stoned teenager and totaled, and it worked nicely after programming my car. Sure glad I didn't go to Car Toys here in Tacoma and have an aftermarket unit installed as our local Ford dealer recommended.
