Which Key And Remote Should Fit My Car

[Sylray]

I have a 1998 Galaxy 2.3 Ghia X

and got only one key with it and no remote control

 

I don't think this is the original as the W3 / HAA printed in this does not come back on 1999 cars I found online

 

The key works as it should on all doors and locks, and starts normal.

but I would also like to have a remote for my car. this can be a remote key, or a separate controller

 

but which model should work on my car?

If you don't have an original remote key to work with, I would think that the easiest course would be to fit an aftermarket remote locking kit with separate fobs. There's a few threads on here about fitting if you have a search, try searching for "aftermarket remote locking" or "remote locking".

 

Unless your car is a very late 1998, the locking system will probably be different to a 1999 car anyway - the electrics were revised heavily at the end of 1998.

The date I read on the cover of my fuse box is (98 05 26 17) don't know what exactly the date on my v5 is.

 

It would be nice to have something without need to install additional hardware. (but will give that a look anyway)
