Hi!

I own a 97 A4 1.8 that I purchased recently. Anyway, I bought a keyless
entry remote for it off the net and now I am trying to program it but it
doesn't seem to work. Its the 3 button remote with the switchblade key and
red panic button on the side.

So anyhow, I was wondering how I can check whether this thing even has a
Keyless entry system or not? I know it sounds weird, but I called the
dealer and they say that they cant tell me by checking the serial #etc....
so what to do!?

is there a way to check if your car has teh keyless entry system?!

My '97 A3 has the keyless entry system. Apparently (although I haven't
checked) there is some kind of box under the drivers set that controls the
system. Maybe you should look under there and see what you find.
