keyless entry

I just purchased a '99 F150XLT I quess it did not come with keyless entry option, had Ford Dealer check it out and they said in '99 it was a option even though manual says it is equipped with keyless entry. Has anyone installed an aftermarket keyless entry system in their truck. Thanks for any help.

keyless entry

Try this first: turn your ignition key rapidly from "OFF" to "RUN" (NOT "start") either 8 or 10 times. After the 8th or 10th time, if your doors lock and unlock, then the truck is equipped with the factory keyless system. All you need to do then is get a remote (or "fob" as Ford likes to call them) and program it to your truck, which is very easy to do.

There are always lots of OEM keyless remote controls on eBay, presumably from people who are doing aftermarket burglar alarms. They're cheap!
