keyless entry help
ok guys i need some help.. my 2000 was bought used.. it only came with one key, and no key fobs for remote doors trunk.. so my uncle had a set of ford factory remote start/keyless entry full system and all but it was for his 2001.. my question is, can i use just the remotes to lock and unlock my car without having to install the entire system.. i dont care for the remote start option.. ( would be nice but isnt at all required) i just want to be able to lock and unlock the car with a remote.. is this possible without installing a whole new kit?

That does not sound like a factory FCC number. Aquick search turned up this:
Code Alarm Remotes with FCC ID GOH-FOUR
Posted on November 14, 2011 by admin
A visitor to our call center wanted to replace a remote keyfob for her Code Alarm system. She could barely read the FCC ID number on the back because it was so used, but it turned out to be ”GOH-FOUR”.
As it happens, this FCC ID was used on two Code Alarm remote key fobs that have different electronic characteristics . . . so they are not compatible. One transmits a fixed code signal at 315 mHz; the other transmits a rolling code signal at 434 mHz. There is a further complication in that the rolling code remote is no longer made, though Remotes Unlimited sells compatible parts that may be substituted for it.
It is very difficult to distinguish the two parts visually, so our call center asked the woman to look at the control module of her alarm system to determine what model had been installed in her vehicle. Once she provided that information, we were able to sell her a replacement part that she will be able to program herself.
Situations such as this are not at all unusual, for either factory keyless entry or aftermarket alarm remote transmitters. So, when buying a replacement be sure you are confident that the vendor you buy from really knows the parts and technologies involved.
