Keyless entry - stock on all 850's? Topic is solved

I posted this before but I recently purchased a used 850 and received 2 keys and no remotes - most of you here agreed that I could purchase a remote, program it, and be off to the keyless races.

I was at a V repair facility yesterday and noticed that where my car has a blank spacer, others there had an electronic 'eye' similar to those which may be used to receive signals from remotes. It is a 1" by .5" spot in the lower center of the windshield on the dash.

Anyone with remote entry have a blank spacer there? I think my 850 may not have remote entry. Or, what the heck is that sensor for?

Merry Christmas.

There is not any receiver 'eye' for the remote. The remote operates via RF like a garage opener, not IR like a TV remote.

That's an alarm activation light.

So, there is a possibility that my 850 has keyless entry, but no alarm? I'll get on keylessride.com and order a remote, then....or ebay.

Thanks fellas.
